Good points, thanks. Let's see how things will develop. I just saw this<http://blog.firebase.com/post/38234264120/the-new-firebase-security-api> (Firebase security API) and I think - in combination with the other stuff - this what I am after, only that I would like to have it as a set of node modules ... Happy holidays everybody, and keep up the great work on Node & its modules!
