I assume "ProcID" would actually be an "AppID" or something. ProcID 
implies variability (OS doesn't always give an app the same ProcID for 
example).

The only thing that bugs me about this model is that the component needs 
to know what's shared or not. Maybe that's actually a feature. I'm not sure.
