hmm, I see. there seems to be a fundamental mismatch between the spi and the ngp design. The spi clearly decouples the transient changes from the server whereas the ngp rather integrates them more tightly into the core.
Agreed. I think the mismatch is an example of the more general tradeoffs between remote and local access. For a remote client it definitely makes sense to keep the transient space local as long as possible, but for a local client this is not a strict requirement, just one design option among others. I'm not sure how serious this mismatch is in practice. It would be nice if we could resolve it, but apart from duplicating the code related to transient changes and requiring extra copies of transient content it doesn't seem to have a too big impact on most use cases.
