Well 

let me just ask Steve wether he thinks that the following is related with
 RFC 1276 or not

[[Nota: It is just from memory and as Bruno is travelling I would not
  guarantee the following, but it was of the kind]]

It seems that in one test with QUIPU we have observed the following situation:

    DSA D1 holds the master entry for Object Ob

    A a result of a first search we have been returned a reference to D1

    As a result of a second search (I cann't remind exactly all the flags)
    concerning the same object Ob (but a different operation for sure)
    DSA D1 (QUIPU) returned a reference (accesPoint?) to a DSA D2!!!

[[chronologicaly it may have been the other way round -ie first D2 then D1 ]]

Is this related to RFC 1276 and replication or is not (if my recording
of the problem is correct)?

Nota what I wanted initially was to be able to discuss this with
QUIPU experts before all this was on the air and before our OIFP
report is published. I went to the list because I was unable
to get any answer to the initial question.
We are still ready and willing to delay the publishing of this report
(which by no way is a case against QUIPU, there is no implementation name
in it) if a technical discussion starts soon and allows to improve 
the content of this report.

regards,
