Subspaces (as currently architected by the hardware) would not help if your 
goal is system integrity, John. Even in CICS subspace mode only helps protect 
against -accidental- storage overlays.

While you can start some code running in a subspace, nothing stops it from 
switching out of subspace mode, at which time it has full access to the entire 
address space.
