The more significant consequence of this is that because each app is 
generally it's own userid, there are a lot of mechanism in place to allow 
specific sharing across userids for the benefit of the human.  That would 
have to be seriously rethought before the device could have two humans with 
different access rights to content.  Or leaving alone rights, even 
different default responses.  You want to share that on facebook?  On who's 
facebook?
