[Opensim-dev] Proposal: Change the OnDeRezObject event

[Melanie]

Definitely +1. However, here's a thought:

Could we not try to take this as a starting point for moving the 
localID to UUID conversion into the client view, e.g. make it a 
List<UUID> and translate LocalID to UUID before the call. I believe 
we should work on getting LocalID out of core, it's a Linden concept 
other viewers probably won't have. Having just ONE type of ID (the 
UUID) would make implementing other client stacks easier.

But that will be detailed in a different proposal..
