Yes, "owned" has a specific meaning in SL.  I meant the kind of 
ownership that describes a C++ member variable within a class for 
example.  It keeps track of it, defines its content, and delivers it to 
requestors.

When rezzing an object, it wouldn't necessarily belong to the region. 
Only when it is left there permanently would it belong to the region. 
Otherwise it would belong to the avatar and vanish when the avatar 
logged off.
