Here is my thinking on tying Identies to anything:

It is a collection of relevant preferences that help specify how you
interact with a specific application and in most cases, a specific object in
that application.  For instance, it's how you personalize the portal page -
"Welcome, fullname".  It's how you tie a name and an address to the
composition of an email or a reply to an email.  You add your signature to
an email using an Identity.  So, in much the same way that you tie your name
and email address and signature when interacting with IMP, it makes sense to
tie whatever you use to receive notifications (email, pager, IM, Blackberry,
SMS, whatever) to your identity, so that other applications can use that to
interact with you.

Now none of that support currently exists for Kronolith and notifications in
Nag are handled differently.  So I see adding a preference to allow the
selection of an Identity in Kronolith as a baby step.  It would be useful to
have it on a per-share, and probably a per-event basis - think a shared
email account (maybe tech support) with one group calendar, events/tasks are
displayed on the calendar and the alarm triggers for the event/task and
sends a notification to the identity tied to the event/task.  Each member
carries their own pager, so notifications could go to any of those, based on
the reminder_addr.

Thinking about an Identity another way - its one facet of what your own
entry might look like in Turba - your name, your email, your mobile, your FB
entry, and for each application, its the relevant parts of your equivalent
Turba entry.
