I think so too, but perhaps it will be considered too complex, and what 
about the notion of time in distributed systems, ...

Well, I know, but robotic systems are often distributed with parts 
precompiled and embedded while other parts are being composed/developed, 
so there will be several (sub)systems.

For the rest I see that we understand each other quite well.
