There are global constants. There will be some more properties of the protocols
involved. Global variables won't be supported as it would break parallel
execution of filters. If you need something really special, write your own
protocol. (This should be also simpler, we should clean and better document the
protocol API.)

Let's see what is feasible after the roa checks are fixed. Feel free to remind
this topic then.
