What security issues are you thinking of?
The one where you can tell by looking at a doc, which node it was
inserted on. I suppose that's not strictly security - more like
anonymity.
If you want to a feature such as replication tracking i.e. who have I
replicated from, and how up-to-date am I, the ability to track the
replication source chould would be a good thing. It would allow a
computed version-vector form of staleness-tracking.
More would be required than just having a source identifier, because
you would need to map that identifier to a domain useful to the user,
but it would be a start.
I wonder if anonymity, even transitive anonymity, is that useful?
