What we have to deal with is the original document being temporarily
or permanently unavaileble, and also reducing lookups (preferably to
near zero).

This is not a discussion about pure styles or standards, we need to
look at the practical considerations. Building would be slowed to a
crawl if every time someone selects a prim we have to make a network
request to a remote site, each time dealing with it's not being up.
No one wants it to take 30 seconds between selecting a prim and
being able to work with it.
