This is a nice way of looking at the problem. So far, everyone has
assumed we send whole objects together with scripts, a very SL-centric
approach. Of course, one big problem is this:
1 - VW A has Cool Object X
2 - User A on VW A sends Cool Object X to user B on VW B
3 - User B on VW B rez's it (and let's assume they're both utterly
different types of world)
4 - VW B's servers talk to VW A and ask VW A to simulate the object

What happens in step 4 if VW A's servers are down?
