The only comment/request I have is to make this delegation mechanism
optional.  Currently it seems that the AUTHORITY attribute to the GRID
tag is mandatory so that delegation is forced on you.  I would prefer it
to be optional, so that if it is present you can assume that location
has all the detailed data/graphs and gmetad only needs to send/keep the
summary data/plots, but if it is not set, then the source gmetad will
publish all the details and the second gmetad will create its own copy
of everything.
