&gt;Actually the first could be a problem with the MUD server designer, in
&gt;insisting that all verbs be attached to objects, rather than being global
&gt;in the scenario.

Ahh, not quite so grasshopper!

A verb can also be attahed to a (semi-)global root object, from which damn
near everything is Sod's little creation incenstuously inherits.  And Lo! 
There breathed upon the land global verbs!

You can then add manual kick-outs to anything local that's more
specific...

&gt;If as many verbs as possible are global verbs, then it mostly falls out
&gt;for free.

And you end up with Baal's own creation for your local language matrix.
