Owner, yes. Group no. But more to the point, *permissions are  
inherently advisory between domains operated by different  
organizations*.

I'm sorry, I just said that I'm not talking about stuff you leave  
behind. I was clarifying what stuff you DON'T leave behind could  
include.

OK, I'm not just talking about the list of objects in my inventory,  
I'm talking about the assets themselves. When you go from one domain  
to another, and go into your inventory, and bring up the properties  
of an object in your inventory, where is the asset that you are  
bringing up the properties on? The trust relationship between the  
domain the asset is in and the domain you're in should determine if  
you can bring up the properties at all, and *separately* whether you  
can get at the content of the asset itself.

That is, you bring up "fred's cool shirt" in domain-fred-doesn't- 
trust and you see the name, owner, description, rights, and so on.  
But you still can't wear the shirt.

What I'm envisioning here is that *in that domain* that shirt is  
represented by a placeholder copy of the asset that's a reference  
back to the original.
