I haven't focus on the security topics yet.  But since IMOP is very similar to 
HTTP, I guess we can at least apply the same tricks we use in web apps to Meso 
programs, such as IMOP over SSL (IMOPS) and session cookies.

Having said that, I think not all applications are equally concerned about 
security.  Public services such as maps, weather services, flight schedules... 
can all benefit from a cleaner way to represent their APIs where the security 
is a lesser concern.
