[Opensim-dev] Global identifiers

[diva at metaverseink.com]

uh? The Hypergrid supports "hops" preserving identity and inventory, 
independent of where those services are. It doesn't need a central 
ID/inventory service, but it can work with it too; it works with both.

What I'm saying is something else: people can now go into the business 
of providing identity and inventory services *only* -- i.e. no 
simulators -- for users out there who aren't sure which world to get an 
identity from.
