I agree if there are going to be separate objects created and the
"publish" option is what creates these new objects.  I guess I was
thinking more along the line of a more general facility that would
allow one to mark an object as "public" or "private" no matter what
type of object it was.  This would be useful for the normal APRS
objects as well as the newer CAD objects.
