I appreciate you taking the time to explain this over the last couple of
days. Whilst I'll likely continue working through different use cases
and setups in general, as far as the account system goes I'm going with
the LWO proxy to AccountD option.

Probably with a simplistic AccountD at first, mapping of mappings would
cover enough accounts[1] for a first cut approach. Migration could then
later take place to a multi-object approach either when issues arise or
I need such a system for other reasons and may as well then move the
account system over to it.

That should give me suitable flexibility for the future whilst avoiding
over complicating the initial implementation.

Cheers everyone for your advice.
