if yo change owner & group, doesn't that constitute a transfer? with a
no-transfer asset you'd go against the wishes of the creator then.

stuff i leave behind: that is in my view like dropping a snap-shot. it's
not coming back with me. i would not expect changes that i inflict on it
in the other domain to have repercussions on the original asset.

inventory changes: that raises the interesting question of whether my
inventory is modulated by the domain i'm in? in other words, will my
inventory change depending on where i am or will i always see my full
inventory, i just won't be able to rez some items in certain domains?
again, i'd expect to always see the full inventory in my client, any
changes that i make are relayed back to the asset server of the item.
