Does anyone know how the Services menu works?  Is it always 
interprocess invocation, or can a service be code executed in the 
context of the calling process?  If the latter this is a hard problem 
to fix.  Otherwise Apple just needs to put wrappers around the 
execution code.

Has anyone looked to see if it's possible to take advantage of this 
with SOAP and/or Applescript?

Either way, this will be a good test of how seriously Apple takes 
security.  I would hope that we see a patch for this in no more than 
a week or so.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
