There is a requirement to allow only one client to own write access to
a specified object in order to avoid locking. There is nothing objecting
to a client being able to write to multiple objects as long as that rule
is met.

Both assertions true.
But what i was responding to is:
There are multiple clients that connect to the same agent.
And a client can connect to multiple agents.

I believe that such a requirement _may_ call out certain features in
the protocol. Essentially the agent is a broker.
