BTW, this touches on an important point of the design of this feature 
which is not entirely working yet, but the broad strokes are there. 
People can create content (entire regions, inventory) using their own 
standalone simulators that aren't connected to anything. Then they can 
archive that content using a profile URL corresponding to one of their 
more permanent public accounts, even one that is unrelated to OpenSim, 
instead of being stuck to the specific simulator where the content was 
created.

For example, I can create an archive like this:
$ save oar -profile=http://graph.facebook.com/ -<localid>=crista.lopes ...

Whoever imports my archive will see my objects as having been created by 
crista.lopes @ facebook.com. It is then possible to add a profile module 
to OpenSim that interprets the facebook profile information.

Or even...
$ save oar -profile=http://world.secondlife.com/resident/ 
-<localid>=5a4e4397-ff83-4030-97f4-10c9f2a07292

This one will allow us to reach SL profiles.

(This doesn't work yet, but that's where it's going)
