Okay. One key issue is the Web of Trust. As I've explained this will underlie a 
great many apps (the new name for plugins). IMHO we should:
- Make the currently logged in pseudonymous identity a prominent part of the 
UI, and if there isn't one provide the means to create one in the same location.
- Have a good, unified web interface for the Web of Trust plugin, where you can 
see all the WoT-based services that a given identity uses, along with their 
trust list.

IMHO we need this to be taken into account in our mockups and eventually in our 
implementation.
