Indeed.  My research is indicating that this may not even make sense to 
do any more - we don't get any value from it other than validation.  And 
there will come a time in the near future when content items do not 
correspond to deployments on a 1:1 basis; so this will merely be a 
declaration of what's in the content repository.

I'm starting to think that this information (domain-level deployment 
element data) is completely superfluous.
