I agree. Anyway, share the favorites items can be a option (if explicitly
selected by the user) .

True, we need show the objects ownership.

I like use a push model because is more transparent to the user (like in
Record or Browse collaboration),
but these activities have it partially implemented, if you remove media
from one xo, is not removed in other
xos, the same happen if you change the title from one photo, is not changed
in the other xos.
I don't know if is in this way by design or because is pending.

One alternative is notify to the user when changes were pushed to the main
shared instance. Then, the user can reload
and get the view updated.

Thanks by the review & ideas.
