* <<G1S.0025>> Federation as CDN
I'm having some conceptual convergence with decentralized message 
distribution systems, like GNU social, pump.io, etc, and Xanalogical 
publishing. 
- All of these systems could/should have versioning. Notes/posts 
should be immutable, and there should be a "revision" link relation 
on revised posts pointing back to their parents. Tent does this 
already.
- Distributing the data to several hubs (caching servers) is a boon 
to the small content creator who wants better control over his media 
— which means a smaller back-end — but needs/wants his 
distribution capability to be able to cope with some level of 
virality, should he be so lucky.
- In Xanadu, media should *always* be pulled from the publishing 
server, as transclusions always link back to their source.  However, 
if these federated caching servers held copies of the primedia, but 
those copies linked back to the source, the important concept is 
retained.
