Hi Herbert,

You're right. The key is always an accessPoint.

We assumed the accessPoint was the unique element of a Lookup 
Information. We needed something that would distinguish one Lookup 
Information from another.

During registration within LS, accessPoint is always converted (copied) 
into the key and sent back to the client.

Basing on that key, the client knows what is database ID of new 
registered Lookup Information and may request other actions such as 
deregistration (remove), keepalive or update.

I hope the explanation helps.

Maciej
