You can't use undocumented behaviour safely; future versions may break
this arbitrarily.

It would help if you explained your problem and what you are actually
using subscriber identities for. There is no logical step except to
solve real problems in the simplest plausible way.

The protocol does in fact support identity exchange for all socket
types but what are the semantics in XSUB/XPUB? In ROUTER, it's used to
route replies.

I'm sceptical of extending pub/sub much further since it breaks the
scalability of the pattern but as we've said often, if it's something
you want to make, send a patch.
