Hi,
Some thoughts about our solution for split-site cluster:
   1. the split-site cluster includes one or more sites.
   2. a site means a set of nodes in one subnet.
   3. a subcluster means a set of nodes which can connected each other in one 
site.
   4. quorum is required to provide service.
   5. there are two levels of the quorum, local quorum(or inside a site, or in 
one subnet) and global quorum (inter-site, cross site or whole cluster).
   6. local quorum means more than half nodes in the site (or by tie-breaker 
plugin), in current implementation.
   7. calculating local quorum don't need the information of nodes in other 
site(s).
   8. global quorum would be decide by 3rd quorum server with the information 
of the sites and subclusters.
   9. if the subcluster has both the local and global quorums, we say that it 
has the quorum.

Any comment is welcome.
