One of the BIG disadvantages of CSA is that too many programs are spending too
much time in Key0 and it is all too easy for them to splat all over someone
else's product anchor block.
I would like to be able to allocate my anchor block in CSA64 and feel safe that
only programs with correctly registered interest can alter it (key0 or not).
Personally I try leave my code in key0 about as long as I would leave my 4 year
old son with a carving knife.

Or a loaded automatic weapon? :-)
I'd much rather see a PC-based mechanism for inter-address-space
communications. Storage keys become less important to the caller, and
the "callee" can do validation of addresses, parameters, etc.
(I'd also like to see a "fast path" through SPIE/ESPIE for Monitor
Calls, too <G>)
