This has recently been answered in the list.
Here a short summary:

  a persistent object with all its attributes.
  If the attribute is itself a persistent object, then
  the "separate" object contains only a reference to it.
  Otherwise, the complete attribute value (until persistent objects
  are hit) is part of the object's value.
