In the case you > describe, how can you say that C is primary and D is secondary? It seems to me that in at least some cases it is obvious which object is primary. For example, I give Apache-SSL to both Oxford and Cambridge Universities, who then publish it on their FTP sites. These are then mirrored by various other sites. The primary version is the one that I generated (which, unfortunately for this discussion, doesn't have a URL at all, at least, not one I'm aware of, certainly not one that is accessible by the general public), and all the others are secondary, right?
