itaps-parallel Confusion between BOUNDARY, INTERNAL, GHOST

[Tim Tautges]

Hi all,
   I'm in the process of implementing at least part of this interface, 
and I think there's ambiguity about what BOUNDARY, INTERNAL, and GHOST 
really mean.  Namely, are these referring to processor sharing, or the 
relation to the skin?  That is, if an entity is on the skin of a part 
but not shared with another processor, is its status INTERNAL?  If so, 
then I think these values are mutually exclusive, which I think is an 
important requirement if the status is accessed with a single function.
