 PAST [rowstron01storage]_ is a persistent storage system that use 
 [rowston01pastry]_ for locating data in a Peer-to-Peer environment.
-Nodes and data items are distributed uniformly based on the hash identifier
-in a PAST network. Free Haven [dingledine00free]_ provides a distributed 
-anonymous storage. It uses both cryptography and routing techniques to 
-provide anonymity for the participating peers and splits a file to shares
-that are distributed in a network.  Both PAST and Free Haven do not have a

+Nodes and data items are distributed uniformly based on the hash 
+identifier in a PAST network. Free Haven [dingledine00free]_ 
+provides a distributed anonymous persistent data storage. It uses 
+both cryptography and routing techniques to provide anonymity for 
+the participating peers and splits a file to a number of shares 
+which are distributed through a network. Because of persistency 
+commitment both PAST and Free Haven do not have a model for 
+updating data items in the system.
 
 Centralized versioning model
 ----------------------------
 
-- Centralized updates:
-
   - SFS &c; destructive updates
-  - Publius focuses on anonymity (apparently); destructive updates   
   
   
+Like Free Haven, Publius [pub00]_ focuses on anonymity of the
+participating nodes. Compared to Free Haven, however, Publius
+has a support for destructive updates. An issue with Publius
+is that it requires a globally maintained list of participating
+nodes currently available in a system.
   
-OceanStore [kubiatowicz00oceanstore]_ is a global storage system based
-on Tapestry [zhao01tapestry]_ routing algorithm. It supports non-destructive, 
-linearly versioned updates through a centralized Byzantine agreement protocol.

-CFS [dabek01widearea]_ is based on Chord [stoica01chord]_ and stores data 
-blocks, i.e., fragments of files, and spreads blocks uniformly over the
