[freenet-chat] USK question(s) and weirdness

Hi,

When I insert a site with uri USK at priv-yadayada/name/0, the URI that
comes back with the PutSuccessful is USK at pub-yadayada/name/n, where n is
the latest rev number.

But on inserting with uri USK at priv-yadayada/name/49, the URI that came
back was USK at pub-yadayada/name/49, and a fetch to
USK at pub-yadayada/name/49 is the one I've just inserted.

Does this mean that any given USK edition (or the latest edition) can be
'overwritten'? Also, does it mean that edition 0 is a 'magic number',
which on insert, means 'insert to the next available edition', and on
retrieve, means 'fetch the latest available edition'?

The USK wiki page at http://wiki.freenetproject.org/FreenetUSKPages is
in need of explanatory updates.

If someone can post some clarifying comments in reply to this post, I'd
be willing to update the wiki.

Kind regards
David
