Unless you leave a script behind that contains some code like:

	llSetTexture(llList2String(texture_uuids, i++));

Now clearly this could be changed to:

	llSetTexture(llList2String(texture_urls, i++));

Or something, but the point is that there's a need to get hold of  
data that is neither in the sim nor in your client.

Well, "... storing inventory in a distributed manner...". It has to  
be stored *somewhere*, and it needs to be stored somewhere that  
doesn't depend on some random laptop (that you haven't yet realized  
is sitting at the bottom of your swimming pool, because your wifi is  
down as well) being online.
