Morgaine,

  Yes..but..my comment was in reference to the idea of permissions, mainly
so I could buy a "no-mod" object, tack my mods on it, make it modifiable,
but still protect the sub-assemblies' object creators intentions.

SL has effectively disabled this aspect of the time honored yankee tradition
of re-tasking objects for things they weren't orginally intended to do. My
better mousetrap shouldn't need to be constructed from scratch.

I'm guessing the the object hierachy as described will work well for the
permission attributes of sub-assemblies.
