Steve, this isn't death by a 1,000 cuts. What's being put forward here is not a specific implementation -- but rather a specific model of security (the object capability model) -- which has been proven to be foolproof.
Proven? Isn't it impossible to prove something like this? "Nobody ever see an alien" is not a proof for "There is no alien". "Nobody have thought of a way to break the model" is not a proof for "The model is invincible"...
