Well, no, thats not quite how OpenSim works.

A standalone OpenSim region with no grid services is probably loosely equivalent to no AD and I think that was the mode in which the tests were performed with the IBM OpenSim region and OGP a year or so ago.

An OpenSim region running in grid mode is connected to a number of servers that connect the grid together. These are a UserServer, GridServer, Asset/InventoryServer and MessagingServer. So these are *more or less* equivalent to AD notions.

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).
