Description of EndpointAlias in URQ??

Frank,

I wonder what this is doing here at all...

Action that I consider sensible at a gatekeeper:
If any aliases are mentioned in URQ, just unregister those aliases; if no
aliases are mentioned, unregister the user altogether (ie all aliases).

Action I consider sensible at an endpoint:
Mention all aliases that are currently registered!

This may or may not tally with the way people read the spec!!!
