My one comment is related to storage.

In the diagram you have "optimised" and "client-specific" storage.

I think that naming implies a division that could lead to problems in  
the future.

Implementation-wise, of course, you could have two separate stores.  
But I think the conceptual model should retain a single store for  
each asset, with properties referring to the original format, the  
localized (agent-optimized) format(s), and possibly client-specific  
formats uploaded by a client for caching. Each properties could be  
local data, a local cache of the data, a local reference to data in  
an optimized store, or simply the URI for data that hasn't been  
downloaded (for example, no client has requested that particular  
client-specific property, or the asset is in an object's inventory  
but never rezzed, and only some properties have been accessed).
