I've submitted a patch to the event deletion NIP (09.md), adding the possibility to burn or retire an npub, rather than merely emptying it of events through deletion.

Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Burning an npub

The npub+nsec combination brings the advantage that no user can have their passkey stolen and end up "locked out" of their own profile or app accounts by the thief changing their passkey. This is a securtiy advancement. However, the problem remains that the passkey (nsec) could be stolen or be given to a bad actor, and then the user must helplessly "share" the passkey with them. Both owner and thief can continue to sign events using this passkey. For this reason, I suggest we give users the possibility to burn an npub, by issuing a final event describing the npub as "retired".
