[db-wg] Proposal: Abuse-C as a Reference

Hi,

In an ideal world (tm). The database would contain e-mail addresses in 
objects that describe a person or a group of persons (because only they 
can actually read eMails). everywhere else (i.e. 
Notifications/changed,....) should contain a reference to that someone.

Because: What you do is to notify/inform/write something to _someone_ 
having an email address, and not notifying a Mailbox.

This in conjunction whith the comment thing from my last mail should 
actually make the 'normal' output understandable to anyone who reads [1].

But I know that this would Imply a _major_ change in the way the 
Database works, and therefore I suppose it is not realistic. But at 
least the comments migt help in that case.

[1] Howver I know that the ability to read scales whith the Clue-Density
     defined in the Secret-WG, so all of this might not solve any of
     these issues ;-)
