Correct. It's just I think DoT is single object, including texts it
contains, and Texts
that are part of it are not separately shareable. However, I'm not 100%
sure about it.
Apparently we talked about what DoT really is, but never wrote it down.

OK. I updated
http://www.total-knowledge.com/wiki/index.php/UU#Dialogue_of_Texts

really something we
want to do, and that we want it in UUv1time frame.
