Meh. It's a cute CSS trick, but I don't think it takes us any closer to
correctly solving the problem.
IMO, each sensor / CK (regardless of its name) should be optionally
annotable as `@Sensitive` (redacted with `*` chars) or `@Hidden` (not even
shown). It's up for discussion what should be visible to other Brooklyn
entities (esp. those in different apps within the same server session), and
what should be presented over the REST interface.
Some might argue that it's unacceptable to be able to access certain values
client-side, even if it involves javascript hackery or viewing the HTML/JSON
sources.
