I was thinking there would be a "clientUuid" property in addition to a 
uuid.  ClientUuid would be unique within a collection and is what would 
relate items in different collections.

I still think this could work for a live query model., at least in the 
short term. The client can ask for items in one or more collections, and 
in the case where it receives an item that exists in multiple 
collections, it displays the most recent data.  Conflict resolution 
would be nice though.
