[Opensim-dev] The essence of "grid"

[Melanie]

In the future, the avatar and his inventory will be independent of 
the grid. This is already almost a reality.

To address another post, a "trust domain" doesn't imply that the 
visitor trusts it. It merely means that all regions within it trust 
each other. Like the servers that make up a web application.
