I think Trent's suggestion illustrates an example of a decentralised model; the current British solution would seem to be an example of a centralised model !
-do you see legal liability as a problem ? and if so - what to do ? No, I don't see legal liability as an obvious problem, and I have a law degree, so I'm probably better qualified than most to think about it.
