Ok.  I would still like to use your use case and example to continue 
exploring API additions/changes to support authorization policy in ECF 3.5.


BTW, that reminds me...now that 3.4 is almost out, it's time to begin 
discussing the additions and enhancements to target for ECF 3.5 and 
beyond...as well as the timing of future releases.  I don't want to rush 
this though...especially since we haven't even done the 3.4 release 
build yet :), so I'll start a separate discussion thread with some 
plans/thoughts/ideas of my own and we can discuss on the mailing list 
over the next few weeks.

I would like to emphasize that *everyone* that has ideas should 
contribute them publicly on this list.  I'm sad to say that ECF has some 
resources limitations though...so remember that if you want an 
addition...the easiest and fastest way to get it is to a) ask 
publicly...so that others can identify similar needs (as has already 
happened with this thread); b) contribute use cases, designs, and code 
as much as possible (as Franky and others have also already done with 
this thread).

Thanks,

Scott
