Why not make an asset copy when one makes an inventory copy?  Then 
delete the asset when deleted from inventory.  Is each user having their 
own copy of many things a bigger problem?  I guess this doesn't address 
one having out of ban knowledge of an assets UUID and expecting it to be 
there.  Also, I accept that I may be missing some fundamental knowledge 
of how things work.  Please be gentle :-)
