Ah. Got it. The OGP notion is the Linden interop which is how the "gridnauts" got from the betagrid to an OpenSim region and to several OSGrid regions last year.
But, ... I believe those avatars that teleported from the betagrid to either the OpenSim standalone regions or the OSGrid regions were under the AgentDomain and so were "not completely, exactly", er, "handed off" to the new region. The AgentDomain was still connected to the "special client" that was being used.

I'm looking at this specific document, and it's as generic as a document can be. Specifically, it doesn't say anything about how to use the basic protocols HTTP+REST+CAPs. The different uses will produce quite different systems, I think. Charles Krinke wrote: If I recall correctly, and I might be wrong, but the conversation I had with the lindens about OGP had them focused on their AgentDomain. Sort of a "super grid server" if you will. When quizzed about a full handoff, they said "we arent working on that". So, my impression about OGP is it extends the linden grid, but is only half of an interop solution.

In particular the hint at inventory-related capabilities, which will allow secure inventory access. I'm not sure I buy into some of the details, but the basic combination HTTP+REST+Capabilities --> +1. The Event Queue...well... It sucks. I think we need to look at alternatives for posting things to the client. I can't believe there aren't any; I think there are, but maybe they all come down to this, event queues on the server-side, whatever their form. If there are no better alternatives, then we need at least to rethink what the EQ is all about. If the EQ CAP is not given to the regions, but stays within the user's home system, that might work. Also, if there would be several different *types* of Event Queues that might work well too; so for example, we might give the social-net-related EQ CAP (groups, IM, etc) to the social net component without compromising agent transfers. The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that regions have no business in agent transfer activities, other than negotiating the capabilities when agents come. I really like that document, I must say, but it's strength is also its weakness. It's just about the basic levels. It says nothing about how those things are driven higher up.
