Yes and no, depending on application. I guess what I'm saying is that we could allow for those cases just by choosing another base case. OpenSim definitively should support not sending avatar updates to all connected clients. I guess that would make for some interesting test cases when it comes to performance as well.<BR>

Just don't send the av appearance... and you will. That should probably happen if you don't automatically create av appearance for non-authenticated agents.<BR>

Yup, it's those kinds of experiments I think we should start doing, to get a feel for what the anonymous base case would mean.<BR>
