The separation of UIA issuance and the control of the assets could be a potentially very useful feature.
For legal purposes, a company may not want to issue an asset but may still want to gain the benefit of UIAs.
To enable this, UIAs should be able to be issued with a feature which allows for anyone who has purchased 100% of the assets to modify the parameters and receive transaction fees from that asset (essentially takes over all 'ownership rights') (This feature can also be disabled).
This will allow people to issue UIAs for people to purchase and take over in the open market, in the same way you go out and buy a shelf-company.
A company can then buy a shelf-UIA, change the name, number of tokens, fees etc and resell the UIAs with the new properties. The company is therefore no longer in the business of issuing assets/depository receipts/shares etc but is instead only engaging in the business of buying and selling UIAs.
The company can then function in a ‘post-contract society' manner, and there are no legal rights conferred between the UIA issuer and the buyer. Market forces, and an understanding of the companies mission by users, will determine pricing.
(the company and the third party UIA issuer could even be controlled by the same person, so as to avoid the third party UIA issuer from taken on any potential risk).
