Actually, the best way to settle the issue is to bid for the items, and pay for them, with little to no fanfare. Exchanging them for "rights" is quite frankly out of the question, since "face" is something very important to the PRC government. Besides, it's for charity, or at least the original YSL auction was.
All this hooha is distracting. Besides, the real issue is that demographic changes on the ground in Tibet are not good for Tibetans.
