I think this is logical and should be done at the level of the
httpdataprovider. However, note that LPS proxying also includes
media; we have no choke point to control media requests with data
providers.
But -- please propose changes to public APIs before implementing
them! We need to be deliberate about this. I learned yesterday that
the visible/visibility API has been changed and that a new attribute
or value (collapse?) had been added. I remember the thread, but had
no recollection of this actually being done. Nobody understood why,
including me. Of this more later...

yeah, that probably makes more sense in the case I was thinking about.
The use case I'm picturing is that someone wants to run an app which
needs data proxy service (because of security restrictions in the swf
or DHTML environment), and they don't want to be running an piggish
Java servlet engine and LPS server. They may be serving the app from
an apache/PHP server, for example, and have a PHP script which acts as
a data proxy.
In this case, it would be simplest for the user to configure the
default httpdataprovider with the proxy script url in one place, at
the initialization of their app, before any data requests are made. So
having an API call on the httpdataprovider would make more sense than
setting it on each dataset.

should proxying be considered a policy that is implemented by a
dataprovider?
