[Opensim-dev] The essence of "grid"

[Ideia Boa]

Finally someone to explain in brief what is "trust domain" and is 
precisely what we need. We need to create something that the grids and 
regions connected by hypergrid can behave as "trust domain"
Cristina got 100000% of reason in your security considerations for links 
between grids and regions.
Melanie, thanks for the help given by your post.

That is, the avatar should not be ruthed.
