Just out of curiosity: why are you so keen on not being locked into the web-tier, 
while the actual base for your authentication is that very tier (i.e. http headers)? 
When will you want to check http headers outside the web-tier? 
On the other hand I agree with the general argument that the mmbase core should not 
pass these specific objects within the core.
