Wes: Stop Right Here.  

If you can come up with a security model that makes this viable on an 
adequately large scale, I will *happily* abandon almost any other 
thought I might have of using any other interface and happily work 
under a browser.

If not, and I'm not convinced one way or another, then we have to give 
this idea the wide berth it will deserve.
