Certainly. Maybe add to your spec that there needs to be an easy way for
OS vendors / site / system admins to maintain a whitelist of apps that
are always allowed to access a certain types of keys without having to
nag the user. Means you need a grouping/type concept though. (And FWIW I
think path-based security is more than sufficient here.)
