To implement conflict resolution, I need to add a new sharing-

SharedItem stamp and put the new attribute in there, but I was
hoping to be able to also move two long-time sharing-specific
attributes of ContentItem, "shares" and "sharedIn", into this stamp
as well. This appears to be difficult because of
ContentItem.isAttributeModifiable( ). That method needs access to
the "sharedIn" attribute, and if I move that attribute into the
sharing layer, some core pim code is now going to have a dependency
on the sharing package which I believe we want to avoid.
Any ideas?
You probably want just an Annotation, not a Stamp, I'm guessing.
One possibility is to move isAttributeModifiable(), shares, and
sharedIn into your class. You can also refer to the sharedIn
attribute by its full name (which would end up being something like
'osaf.pim.MorgensClass.sharedIn'), though that seems crufty to me.
