Yah, I know. This is a situation where we're going to have to make a
compromise somewhere, either in protection or easy of use. Or perhaps
against both at the same time. I"m throwing stuff out in hopes it causes
someone to come up with a GOOD idea. I'm sure not.

Worrisome, but frankly, I'd save that worry for when it happens, unless we
can find a way we like that also solves it. If we wait for a 100% solution,
we'll die of old age. So we're going to, at some point, have to stuff our
fingers in the dike and hope, at least until we can build a better dike.
