Hmm, I wonder why this should be an issue at all. Isn't OGP supposed to 
allow teleporting from grid to grid? So it would be dangerous, to rely 
on position or region handle anywhere in the process.

It might easily happen, that you teleport from a region in one grid to 
another region with the same position/handle in another grid. If this 
scenario is supported by the protocol, then why would it be necessary to 
adapt region positions to the same scheme?

Or did I get something fundamentally wrong?

Best regards,
