Seems like an interesting idea Robert, it should work just fine. That
tourists have limits is ok (i.e. the hassle of "registering" on every

On the other hand (as a citizen) I have been to worlds and built a few
trial objects just to see what was available -- always deleted my stuff
before moving on (after taking notes).
