Your question is being discussed on oscar-devel and we will post our conclusions both on the FAQ and on the list when we make them. Feel free to come join our discussion or search the archives for our works in progress. It is a non-trivial issue, but we have some initial thoughts laid down. It might be a bit before a verified final answer floats down though.
It just occured to me that you might not be listening to the oscar-devel list, so I thought I would let you know it was being discussed. Thanks for asking a great question!
