Re: [ogpx] A Review of Multi-Domain Use Cases [Was: Re: OpenID and OGP : beginning the discussion ...]

[Kajikawa Jeremy <[e-mail]>]

Are the UUIDs given on any individual instance (region domain/agent
domain) 
  exposable across to another domain ?

It appears that you would need a <UUID>@<GridID> arrangement...
 specifically recognising Avatar UUIDs as @local and using an
@<gridstring> 
 when exposed as being from a remote grid ("GridID/GridString" simply
naming a
 connection handle?)

potentialy useful or am I getting hung up on details?
