It gets even more complicated (I suspect) due to the upcoming changes 
where one logs into the Agent Domain instead of the simulator.

The AWG pointed out that login should not require a physical presence in 
a sim in order to do IM/inventory management, so LL devised the 
rez_avatar concept, that divides login into establishing credentials 
phase, and a rez-on-to-sim phase.

I'm concerned that there may be a need sometimes for a third phase 
between the two,  to establish a grid-specific presence before the 
rez-avatar phase, which may further complicate matters, but you can see 
that that the IM/inventory thing is possibly going to get more 
complicated, even without looking at grid-specific issues.

Here's the preliminary rez_avatar part of login, cast into 
semi-compatible OGP form:

also see the even more preliminary TP procedure, where rez_avatar 
becomes a special case:
