Starting new thread as the previous one is becoming too unwieldily.

Morgaine said:
> We either have interoperability between worlds, in which an inhabitant can travel from one world to another and take their avatar and/or possessions with them, or else we don't have that.  It's black and white, and no amount of fudging about "service level interoperability" is going to overcome the lack of VW interoperability as a user would understand it.

The world is full of shades of grey.

Is there an assumption that an Avatar has/uses one (and only one?)
"Asset Service" -- that I have a single repository of possessions to
take? Can I have and use different asset services? Can I use multiple
asset services? Can people share?
