As far as I'm aware, other than the publisher, there should only be one FMRI for each package. I don't believe it is desirable to have multiple namespace resolutions for a single package.

That makes sense to me too and I was just checking I wasn't missing something.

It some how feels "wrong" at the moment to me to have the pkg.fmri omitted from the signature. I can't yet articulate what it is that is making me feel it is "wrong" and it might well be okay. I'll think about it for a bit and get back to you.

So, there are a few paths here:

1) the "identity" (FMRI including publisher prefix) is part of signature

2) signatures (in the original proposal) include all actions in the manifest (a set pkg.fmri action would then be inherently part of a signature); of course this creates a problem if you want to change identity based on signature ...

3) set pkg.fmri is used now, and when signatures are delivered, they have an optional pkg.publisher attribute to allow overriding publisher identity

Note that all of this is built on the assumption that we want to (optionally?) determine publisher identity based on signature.
