My feeling is that if one replaces the name reference with the NIC-handle,
at least as long as the referenced person object is not deleted 
(which I suppose cannot be deleted once it has an other object referencing it),
the roll-back is always possible (i.e. one could re-substitute the NIC-handle
with the name). Although, I feel this would be in the best case useless, since
either there is no other person object with the same name, or the other
object(s) was(were) added later.
