[Opensim-dev] Global identifiers

[M.E. Verhagen]

I see the changing of the avatar names about  the same as changing the name
wich appears in the mail header. If I want to change that from Marcel to
M.E. that I can do that.
I do not see this changes my identity.

I can Image users will want change their names accasionaly, for instance
from 'Piet Manner' naar 'Piet InLove' ...
I easy to do, since all prims and objects of wich they are the owner are
refered in the database with uuid's, so when the name is changed the name on
the prims he/she rezzed will change also. (The caching in the viewer is not
persistent and will update and can also be cleared...)

SL does not allow to change the sl names just out of commercial reasons.

So when someone would rez a prim on a foreign grid and changed their name
afterwards then the old name would remain on that prim.
I do not really see an issue there. If you would want to contact the person
who rezzed that prim you could simply send an im to that person.

The foreign grid would call the
http://www.avination.net/user/44626b40-13d6-4817-b61b-de5df7b5e7e8<http://www.avination.net/user/44626b40-13d6-4817-b61b-de5df7b5e7e8/Melanie+Milland>url
(with a request to set up an im channel) and then would give the
correct
info back and instantiate and im channel.
