Question:  Is there a way in CouchDB to enforce an immutable _id?  Say I delete 
a document - which leaves the deleted tombstone around. Is there a way I can 
prevent someone from recreating that doc with the same _id?

Can validate update function handle this? (i.e. if new_doc._id !~ /^_design\// 
and prev_doc._deleted != false) I'm not sure if deleted docs get passed to 
validate update function.

Thanks,

- Jim
