Does anyone know how to change the Originator of a process instance?

Say for example that the workflow exists for an extended period of time, and the originator moves on to another job. Is there a way to change the values in K2.ProcessInstance.Originator (especially Name and FQN) so that the person who replaced the originator will recieve subsequent new activities that would have gone to the first originator?
The only functionality I am aware of at this time is the K2.net 'Out of Office' ('OoO) component.

But that should still require the original 'Originator' account to be valid within the Active Directory domain so the system can resolve the user and re-route it which may not meet with your network administration policies. There is also some overhead to consider since these OoO pointers will need to be retained in the system (database records and related table/record processing overhead) until not needed.
