You may also want to run this idea past the Turbine group, since in my opinion it, your proposed security system is similiar to Turbine security. Perhaps you could make a proposal to the Turbine developers list to improve the current Turbine security. Then the all Turbine apps, Jetspeed included, will benefit from it.
