John,

You may also want to read the intro draft.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-vwrap-intro-00

This is in 4.4:

"VWRAP defines formats  for describing objects and avatar shapes, but 
more importantly it
    describes the mechanism by which those digital asset descriptions are
    transferred between client applications, agent domains and region
    domains."
...
"Accessing and manipulating digital assets is  performed via 
capabilities which expose the state of the asset to an authorized client. "

In other words, assets are fetched by the client. So if my world pushes 
them to the client, it's not VWRAP-compliant.
