No Dzonatas, that's not enough to handle the requirement.

When I TP from world X to world Y (which I may never have visited before),
my identity, avatar and clothing need to persist across the teleport, and
the elements that I carry with me (such as clothing) may come from many
different worlds which I have visited previously, and be served from their
individual asset services while I'm away touring in world Y.

What's more, visiting thousands of worlds and having to make accounts at
each of them is untenable, and will stop virtual worlds from flourishing.
It creates a major stumbling block for user acceptance.

What's needed cannot be accomplished with client-side trickery.  It needs
regions to understand multiple non-local asset services, and portable
avatars, and single sign on, and it needs many of the protocols that we use
in our region-proxied worlds to change, not only to cater for this required
flexibility, but also for scalability and robustness in a distributed
architecture which we've discussed here before.
