**Supporting passage from Persona Protocol v0.3.**

> It does not attempt to prevent an out-of-band sale of control, which no protocol can prevent. It requires that any change in the controlling key, verification method, or governing principal produce a continuity event that is visible to every downstream relying party, and it permits a relying party to discount or disregard all evidence earned before any transition it regards as a substitution of the accountable subject.
