Crossing zones is something I'd only want to do as a last resort.  Executing a job in Singapore with data in Chicago is a bad idea.

And is a-e so complex or out of the ordinary?  It seems a simpler feature than federation.

It's not great, that's for sure!  That's why I'm unsure about the design I came up with and asked the experts.
