[Opensim-dev] remote admoin wiki page

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Thanks Michelle.  Commented on the Mantis.  To be honest, I think it there are variations on region_id that are only 
used in one spot then they should just be removed, rather than cluttering up the code and suddenly accepting multiple 
variations everywhere.  I think we should only cater for the major region id parameter variations.
