If we allow Freenet to be searched basd upon public keys of
authors of documents within subscpaes like you suggest, then
it may become possible to trace the originator of a request
based upon the list of public keys that he include as
search criteria. (everyone will have a different trust list)

And if we are discriminate in our searches, then minority
views are more likely to be dropped by Freenet as a whole, since
less people are likely to include those person's public keys in their
requests. On the other hand, the same effect helps elliminate spam.

I do agree that request-based filtering is more flexible than
insert-based though.
