If the registering node is backup owner, it could omit the communication as well.

Is there anything to prevent this (e.g. a sanity check at startup) ? One of advantages of distributed mode is the memory requirement - this wouldn't be destroyed, but sure, the cluster wouldn't scale anymore. Nevertheless I think that the filter is sufficient prevention (maybe the API shouldn't allow null filter as "accept all" solution, because that would lead to exactly this situation). Btw., do we expect two events for each modification (pre/post),

or only single one? If the listener throws an exception is this propagated to the node where the write originates?

One more thing not clearly stated on the wiki: the order is probably guaranteed only with respect to one entry - ordering within multiple writes (for example within the same transaction) is not guaranteed.
