Getting back to this late: If an object in the main database has a
reference to an object inside the mounted database, it will fail with
the InvalidObjectReference, right?  That's really what I was trying to
understand.  Mounting allows traversal from one object to another, but
ZODB does prevent the creation of references across the mount.
