In this particular case it wouldn't work if one site were publishing an
SE belonging to a different site - not normal perhaps, but not
necessarily forbidden. Similarly you are assuming that one site tree (at
the mds-vo-name level) only publishes one gluesite object. In the
general case that would obviously not work, for all the other high-level
objects (CE, SE, Service) you can have several of them; for the site you
usually only have one but again it's not clear that it's forbidden to
have more.
