But I think this model is going to change, under the hood. Its something
we've been talking about since that design meeting a few weeks ago.
Obviously we have some implementation details to work out, but if
stamping were done more as some sort of specific referencing (i.e. a
well-known attribute under the hood) then you could imagine that one
half of that link could be read only and shared on the server, and the
other have stored locally.
We could make that distinction at the time of the stamping (i.e. if this
item is read-only them add this to the 'annotated stamped list' else add
it to the real stamped list, or something like that)
