## Deleting a Deletion
Publishing a deletion event against a deletion has no effect. Clients and relays are not obliged to support "undelete" functionality.
## Deleting Replaceable Events
Because of their changing nature it's hard to get rid of all instance of a replaceable event (ranges `10000...19999` and `30000...39999`). We also don't want to publish a `kind:5` targeting an `a` reference and thus permanently delete any future events that could possibly have the same specifieds `kind` and `d`-tag forever.
So instead to delete a replaceable event we **overwrite** it with an event with the same `kind` and `d`-tag, plus a tag `["deleted"]` specifying no other tags.
