You don't need to change it, but you might need to wrapper it. This

contains in the message the address of someone other than the
recipient. If you have that problem, then put it in an envelope.
I respectfully disagree - I don't think that's an appropriate
analogy at all.
I think the analogy is perfect actually. Wasn't it also established
that you could set _id and _rev arbitrarily anyway? The above only
matters if you put the postcard in the mail. If I address the
postcard then hand deliver it then it really doesn't matter what the
address is anyway does it?
