Karen, The compromise proposal will work fine with the FMDB. One question is that the use case, efficiency, and the ease of handling of the entity ownership if we allow the user to specify the owner part of mesh entity. It's not clear to me what's our scenario between #1 and #2. #1 we assume that the owner part of the entity is automatically determined at time of entity creation by default and will allow some exceptional case where the user can specify the owner part for specific entities #2 for every entity, the owner part shall be specified explicitly. In case of the FMDB, the owner part is determined based on the partition model classification to which each entity belongs so the application has no right to change the entity ownership at the moment.

Since we rescheduled the iMeshP conference call (now Thursday, May 27 at 8am PDT), I'll ask you to do some extra work. Please consider the attached use cases (drafted by Tim -- thanks, Tim!). For each case, consider whether the proposal works, particularly in the context of your implementation. We'll discuss the proposal and use cases on Thursday.
Thanks. Karen
