I know this is where you and others have hashed things to, but please
keep in mind -- the scenario where an organization may not want the user
to be in control of their inventory, and where they have no say as to
where it is stored. I understand that it's not the general scenario of
people talking about hypergrid, but OpenSim is a platform that will be
used for things other then "hypergridding" and I don't want to see
alternative scenarios ruled out, or marginalized because of the current
focus on hypergrid.
