That's nice feature of Pd-l2ork.

Yeah, you're totally right. If I'd build a self-enclosed patch, this
wouldn't be an issue. The goal here is to create an abstraction able to
keep an instance of a table in sync over network. I would like to avoid
to design it in a way, that forces the user of the abstraction to
actively notify it about changes. And since I also want to track manual
edits, I need some kind of a watchdog anyway. So  I still go for the
watchdog solution, until the Pd-l2ork features make into Pd.
