[AG-TECH] Persistence in a venue in AG2.x

[Randy Groves]

In responding to a note of master Uram's in Bugzilla, I started thinking 
about the model - at least how I am perceiving it at this point.

 From the way that the venue management is constructed, there doesn't seem 
to be any idea that you could stash data and/or applications permanently as 
part of a venue.  The idea of data/applications/services is attached only 
to the nodes.

In my view, the venue is the place that people meet.  I expect when I enter 
a room, that the objects that I placed there the last time I visited are 
still there (which the possible exception of my car keys ;-) ).  There 
doesn't seem to be any facility at present to add this to a venue, but 
rather these must be brought to the venue in a node.

Now I understand that the venue isn't really the place that all that would 
happen, it is really a lightweight descriptor of the multicast meeting 
place.  But it seems to me that it could contain a record or pointers 
somehow to the objects that are expected to be there.

I do seem to remember that this was covered a while back, but now that I'm 
experimenting with 2.0, it just seems logical that we should be able to add 
these kind of objects to the venue in some way.
