You probably want to support changing:
The meter slot
The addressing slot
The instruction pointer/registers/hardware definition slot(s)
The domain's keys registers
When setting up a "clone" domain, changing the registers etc. (The KeyKOS Domain_PutStuff operation) can be invoked on the domain key passing a resume key to that domain in the 4th slot, saving a jump in the setup.
It seems legitimate to require that these operations be performed thru a domain key rather than some random node keys.
