Explicit identities are dangerous for servers since they create entropy (state accumulation) unless (and even) if you set strict high-water marks.
They're also a real pain internally and as part of simplifying 0MQ's construction we eventually want to get rid of them.
There are better ways to keep and synchronize state among a set of subscribers. See the detailed Clone pattern in Ch5 of the Guide, for example.
