This is definitely a part that needs some work.  Following the domain 
hierarchy, one would expect that all things network related would be 
found in the Network domain.  However, it does lead to having some 
confusion about the purpose of the /Network/Applications directory on 
remote machines.

If making /Local/Applications shareable fixes the confusion, I may 
migrate to that, instead.

Thanks for pointing it out.
