ok.

Not sure what you mean? GeoProperty is handled the same way as all field 
containers.

perhaps, if sending the data over the network becomes a bottleneck.

well, there is always const_cast<> ;)
It's also probably going to break all sorts of things. More importantly, 
what would be the upside? If you are not running in a cluster you could 
make the CL read only (and anyway the CL does not consume large amounts 
of memory), if you are running in a cluster, you make your scene 
inconsistent by changing the values and not distributing them.

        Cheers,
                Carsten
