What are your thoughts about teams combining for out of LMSC meets (not nationals) and not competing as the same team within the LMSC.

There is a great point a few threads back. What would happen if a super team only had a few people at nationals. Aren't people more likely to go to nationals if it is held closer to wher they live? Would you determine what catergory each team falls into by the total number of registered swimmers at the LMSC or by the number of swimmers at the meet?
Also, I've been to meets in the past where only one person shows up from a very large team. But he won all six of the events inwhich he was registered. He happened to be visiting his grand parents.
This issue seems very complicated to me and I almost wonder if in reality itis an issue. Could it ever be solved?
