The basic message is that we currently don't support membership of
multiple VOs with one certificate, if you want to join several VOs you
should get several certificates. The restriction should be lifted once
VOMS comes on-line, but that still looks like being a while, we don't even
have it yet on the development testbed.

It's up to each site whether they ask for the guidelines signature or not,
it depends on local policies. As a user you should normally sign (although
I wonder how many people have actually read the guidelines ...) It's
of course also optional which VOs to support.

One a pool account mapping is established it will stay even if you
change VO unless/until the machine is cleaned by the sysadmin.

I think that's a mistake, as far as I know EDG job submission won't work
if the home directories are not shared.
