I don't agree with this at all.

A VW service provider could operate a region domain with no agent domain. I
believe this is VERY LOOSELY equivalent to running an OpenSim instance in
Grid mode today (but I can't state that definitively) the person running the
sim is basically running just the region, and relying on someone else's
agent domain (agent-centric services).

Similarly, BigGiantCo could operate an agent domain for their employs (as a
bolt-on to their enterprise LDAP server, say) with no region domain.

A BigGiantCo employee can visit the RD-only VW - the AD talks to the RD to
place the agent in a region. There aren't necessarily any other RDs or ADs
involved at all. This is where protocol and policy come into play - the AD
needs to communicate with and trust the RD and vice versa (even if that's
nil-trust).
