My understanding has always been that if you "Withdraw" an Item, the handle is
not "reusable", but if you "Delete (Expunge)" an Item, then the handle is
technically available for use. Even though we don't use handle.net since all
of our sites are behind our firewall, our policy has always been to never
re-use a handle.

Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] what happens to handles, once an item is expunged?
Hi Irene,
Once a handle is assigned by DSpace, it is never reused (even if the
item is expunged / deleted).
The only slight exception is that if you are using the AIP Backup &
Restore system, DSpace will allow you to *restore* a deleted/expunged
Item and also restore its old Handle (obviously this is not really
'reusing' the handle as much as just pointing it back at the newly
restored item).
