Only enough to realize that I consider the distinction confusing.
  Take a heart transplant subject.  Which heart is inalienable,
the one that used to be in his chest or the one that's there now?
  Or a magical barrier that causes certain people to have no will
to cross it; is their will inalienable?  Suppose a person's motor
home is extremely well armed and armored; is it inalienable?
