Ugh. yeah this is bit "too much" of flexibility :) a single sim should be
only in one administrative domain, imho. (actually i did not dig into the
plugins for the grid mode, I kind of assumed that the sim can be only on
*one* grid at a time - and then the interdomain layer would be on top...

If it is as you describe, then it's indeed a recipe for some tears for the
user who comes up with such a creative way to attach the sim. so - +1 there
:)
