Yep, it would also make it easy to remotely shut down someone elses node, just spoof IP packets from 127.0.0.1 and Bobs your uncle, no more node. Very convenient (for those who don't like Freenet ;). There are some simple precautions we could take to prevent this such as ensuring that there is some 2-way communication in the process.
