The origin of this thread was OARs and IARs (for content porting between
OpenSims), and foreign users (for the HG). I don't think there was ever
any intention of grabbing profiles from Second Life, although, as far as
I know, those profiles are available on the web so it would be
technically feasible to do it, but it would probably have to be
special-cased.

Unless I am mistaken, the real problem is older content imported from
SL - how to preserve the creator ID of such content?
The scenario, I am sure, is not unfamiliar:
OS user purchases full rights content on the Linden Grid; OS user,
through hook or crook, imports said content, because he has no
intention of ever using it on the Linden Grid; creator of said content
discovers that the content has been relocated and cries foul because
his/her creator identification has been 'removed'.
While the foregoing discussions itt address the potentiality of this
scenario as it would occur when the content originates on an OS grid,
what do we do about preservation of the ID of the creator of content
from that distant but arguably compatible foreign grid we all know and
love so well?

Ok, so then hash those urls for UUIDs to present to the viewer? We
still need a UUID in the object definitions for the viewer so that
people can see the creator.
