[Opensim-dev] Universal Avatar Question

[Diva Canto]

Daedius,

There is already one piece of information that *regions* may be exposing 
to the outside world, if their admins choose to: their searchable data. 
This has been a recent addition through a module called DataSnapshot, 
which is optional and configurable. It's not all you're asking for, but 
it's within the spirit of the things you're asking for: data exposure.
