Sometimes, it may be beneficial to only mark a certain address as existing within a vault, even though no information is associated with it.

For example, when a data blob is present, but nameless; or an URL, which is entered into the vault (for possible later annotation).

(From a more wishy-washy perspective, the moment something is entered into e.g. the pile has unique meaning, which is also the secondary purpose of numeric document IDs. What's the equivalent in content-addressable systems?)

Possible resolutions:

ADDED attribute (current quasi-workaround)
Entity Attribute="" Value=Invalid triplet (ugly?)
"God-object" to which these free-floating entities are related to (implications?)
