re: I'm not so sure that the simple example you've described is even doable other than in a [walled garden] environment...beyond whose requirements scaling is unlikely to become a problem. Yup, but there's a big difference between "doable" and "doable within the confines of in-place operational structures." We can discuss the pros and cons of it at some later date. But it's neither here nor there since it still violates George's proposal. The nice thing about George's 10,000-foot-view proposal is it obviates the cross-domain handshaking and seems to incentivize "playing nice with peers" because of its simplicity. But I still believe it fundamentally falls apart at the 100 foot view as it is proposed now. I'd be satisfied with a reasonable conceptual solution to this, even if it's not implementable today. But I'm not getting one. I'll never be satisfied with simply hand waving around the perimeter of the problem and refusing to acknowledge the nature of the problem. Unbounded optimism (i.e. someday someone will invent a new tehcnology to solve this piece of the puzzle, and I'll just wait around for that to happen, hoping it occurs in my lifetime) is not a particularly good character trait in corporate America, but it's certainly a good thing that some people have that luxury.
