Question regarding to tracking removed publisher assertion for UDDIv3 subscription.

["Zhe (Alan) Wu" <Alan.Wu@oracle.com>]

Dear Spec TC,

It seems that UDDI v3 subscription API does address the changes
relevant to publisherAssertion. My question is that if a publisher
assertion is deleted, how can we put it inside the keyBag?
The xml schema does not support that for the time being. However,
allowing a publisher assertion reside in keyBag sounds weird too because
'keyBag' is supposed to be a bag of keys and publisher assertion does not
have a key.

Is it reasonable to assign a key to publisher assertion, just to make it
consistent with other entities? That way, tracking deleted publisher assertions
can also be done consistently.

Another way is to extend the xml schema to allow keyBag include 
publisher assertions. But then it is better off to rename keyBag to
something else.

Thanks,
