I've update the spec with details about Account management across Regions:

Accounts:

- When creating the account, it is created first in the Region that the use=
r is logged into
- Account UUID will include Region marker, indicating the Region that it is=
 created from
- This Region is then responsible for propagation of Account creation to ot=
her Regions
- If a Region receives a login from an unknown uuid, then use the Region ma=
rker to auto-propagate the account into this region from another Region or =
its origins
- Account deletion is always forwarded to the Region that originally create=
d the account=20
- The Region that originally created account is responsible for deleting th=
e account from all of the regions before it declares the account is deleted=
. If it cannot reach an Region, account deletion fails.

The same applies for Domains.

Please let me know your thoughts on the above mentioned approach for Accoun=
t Management.
