If we allow users to publish shared items in other collections, then we 
are giving users "super user" access to items by allowing them to then 
share those collections with whoever they want.  Lets say I grant a 
read-write ticket that expires in one day to you, and then you turn 
around and share items in my collection to someone else with a 
non-expiring read-write ticket.

I think for Preview, maybe we only allow the owner of an item to publish 
that item in multiple collections.  You can add shared items to your 
local collection, but you can't add that item to another collection on 
the server because you don't own it.
