OK. 8) I saved this mesasge because it's a good place to start
plugging Juliet again. 8)

This becomes easier when you layer the security issues. I would
stop
worrying about them for starters.
I've written up and published a summary of the architectural discussions as
I understand them together with some of my thoughts on the security issues
at http://www.cs.tcd.ie/~careilly/portia/ArchNotes. The network here has been
a bit unstable over the last week or two so it may be a bit unreliable.
(Something to do with ATM switches I believe. What a suprise.)
It's only a draft that I knocked up over the last hour, so excuse the quality.
I'll try and keep it up to date as the discussion progresses and I'll try
to write up a comprehensible explanation of what I mean by a "layered access
control system" (LAX) over the weekend.
Apologies in advance if I've mis-interpreted any of the discussion.
