[Cosmo-dev] items in multiple collections and eimml

How is items in multiple collections going to fit in with eimml?  Lets 
say I have two collections (A,B) that both include item C.

1. I share A resulting in collection A, item C created on cosmo
2. I share B resulting in collection B created on cosmo (item C already 
there, added to B)
3. I unshare B...i would assume B is removed but item C stays because 
collection A is still there
4. I unshare A...both A and C are removed.

Does this sound right?  So a shared item stays on cosmo as long as it 
has at least one parent collection.  Once all its parents are removed, 
the item is removed.

Is there going to be a separate "remove from collection" record for an 
item or is "delete" going to mean "remove this item from the collection 
and delete from server if it doesn't belong to any collection"?
