Because these keys would likely be stored on different servers
than the data, and might be requested less often, causing
the data to either not be found due to a low HTL even when
the document itself could be, or those co-documents might
disappear from disuse or continue to exist even after the
document dissapears. These things *should* be linked so that
they behave consistently.
This argument makes sense, and I am now not sure what to think. If no
one uses the {Hamiltonian ZKP+HMAC-MD4}-based signature of the document,
then the signature should DIE -- there is no sense shipping it around
the net. On the other hand, the notion of getting the data, but not
knowing what its type is, shearly by luck of the route (ignoring any
notion of disuse, it could still happen), seems offensive, although
mulitpart documents may have that problem, too.
At this point, I have no further interest in pursing the matter. I hear
your reasoning, nod my head (sagely, of course), and shut my mouth...
