Is it "virtual worlds interop" if there aren't multiple virtual worlds 
interoperating involved on an ongoing basis?
It sounds like you're describing something like "avatar interop," to me.

It may sound pedantic, but I do think it's important to put as 
unambiguous labels on what we discuss as possible, so that we don't end 
up making different assumptions without realizing it, and ending up in 
confusion and discord.

Sincerely,
