Well, IPCS does that, too. There must have been quite a bit of work done to 
allow more of the formatters to work now on active storage.

And IPCS makes sure that you are *permitted* to look into another address 
space, thus protecting an address space from prying eyes (think hacker). Does 
LOOKN take care of that?
