Is there a JIRA ticket for this? I remember seeing this a year ago, an
update handler can create a document with id "" however nothing can
delete it.

I thought it was fixed for 1.0.2 or 1.1.0 however perhaps I am wrong.

The workaround is to set doc._id = req.uuid, which is a random UUID
couch creates for each HTTP query.

Deleting that document? I'm not sure off the top of my head. Still thinking.
