An event raised when ever someone collides with an object with a name or
with out a name.

The event would then send to the sdk object number and basic properties as
well as the avatar session name and location.

Imagine the traffic this option would generate :(( When you are walking you are colliding with several objects all the time.
OTOH it would be a very useful feature :)

Maybe when people collide with vertical objects such as walls. Perhaps
maybe just when you shift few an object?

If this is what Richard wanted?

Hmm, but what about when only collisions on items that are flagged are
reported? Eg. in a command like "report bump" which would then, when
bumped, propagate this bump to the world server.

Collision is detected frame by frame by the rendering engine of each
individual browser and is cpu intensive - it is all done client side.
This means, there is absolutely no internet traffic involved (except
for the downloading of objects and updating of avatar and object
positions). It would be absurd to have all this activity broadcasted
to all, even updates of avatar position are sent at fixed intervals,
skipping older ones :)

The difference is that object click/select or avatar click require a
conscious action from a user, whereas collision is a frame by frame
calculation. When you bump into something, it is your browser that
decides you have bumped., and acts accordingly on you. The
consequences are broadcasted as your new position, avatar state, etc,
at due intervals (15 per sec is maximum if the world allows it, 1 per
secong is default). But the actual bump, which depends on your fps
and involves multiple objects, can not be broadcasted.
