Is it possible and completely safe to send coins from a Qt client that is waaayy behind (and which I don't want to run for weeks to catch up)
to another address managed by the MultiBit client?

I guess so, but I just want to be sure.



To get to the matter itself, is it true that one can always transfer what's known to the network to belong to a particular address?
So even having an old wallet, i.e. a client that thinks it can spend 0.8 coins, while in reality it can only spend 0.6 anymore because 0.2 have been spend before from elsewhere (another client) but aren't recorded in the outdated client.
So even in this situation, it should always work to transfer 0.1, while 0.7 would then fail without doing harm?

perfectly safe and will work just fine.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?
