That's basically what I said: each grid would have its own assets.

I'm not talking about L$ at all, this is all about assets in the  
sense of "the stuff on the asset servers". I suspect making *Lindens*  
transportable would actually be a MUCH easier (and profitable for  
Linden Labs) nut to crack.

Let's say you were to travel from the Agni grid to the Disney grid,  
and back again. You wouldn't have access to your Silent Sparrow  
"Erstwhile" Brocade Overcoat on the Disney grid unless Silent Sparrow  
allowed that. Similarly, your Disney "Beauty and the Beast (Prince)"  
avatar would need to be bought again when you got back to Agni unless  
Disney chose to export it. But your Free Leather Jacket and Black  
Ripped Jeans would transfer fine.

You could even have a menu entry for "check export" that would  
determine if the object was full perm (along with any assets required  
for it) or that the creator had marked it (and any required assets)  
exportable... and to where.

"Your 'Meowe 1.1.5 (fantasy glider)' is exportable to: Aditi Grid,  
Agni Grid (current), Disney I, Disney II, Kali Grid, Sony Home  
Public, and There Again."
