It's a very clever way of combining grids, but doesn't address how untrusted administrative domains interact with each other at all. I don't understand why you keep comparing Agent Domain and HyperGrid.

This is important for the business case of company X and company Y creating a partnership that is explicitly configured, but glazes over the 99.999% use case of moving from untrusted grid A to untrusted grid B. I haven't seen any work from AWG addressing the possibility of eliminating all grid<->grid communication (google.com doesn't communicate with the links I click, the browser is perfectly capable of managing its own state).

As I understand it, Agent Domain and HyperGrid approach many of the same 
issues from two directions. That's the reason for mentioning them in the 
same sentence.
