We also need to add a more general capability:  A way to specify
which objects get transmitted (public), and which are local
(private).  Some data used in a search or EOC may be sensitive.

These CAD objects as well as existing types of objects need to be
represented in Xastir such that it's impossible to confuse their
public/private state, yet make it possible to switch an object to
the opposite state.  Of course these individual object states need
to be persistent across crashes/restarts as well.
