Like I wrote, identities are today a purely API-level abstraction and
the protocol just provides a way to break the abstraction for the
occasional case where it's profitable. I'm not sure what problems we
have with this today but collecting those would be a good way to see
what changes we should make to the concepts, if any.

For PGM, I'm not sure how to leverage what we have in ZMTP 3.0.

For IPC, it's the same protocol and that should be clear in the text.

For UDP, if we're not too worried about loss, or security, or larger
messages, we can make a mapping rather nicely. I've done this before
as an experiment.
