Well, it can't be done... that's one thing. You can "remove knowledge of the medium from the system once it has been pulled out". You cannot unmount it because it will already be removed by the time that udev or any other user-space/kernel-space tool learns about this. This is a limitation of the USB port.

You are using udev, so what's the big deal about having to know the filename of the device node? Or is /dev/little-green-usb-stick-with-red-flashing-light not good?
