Yup, that's possible.  It's possible for anything we do, no doubt.  But there 
is a difference: we're starting with it being signed.  If it becomes popular 
and people start hijacking and mucking with it, the signature fails, and they 
will be introducing call failures or errors into a previously working deployed 
system.  Customers don't like to introduce failures into an already working 
deployed system (the Spice must flow).  Today if you try to do 4474 and it 
breaks, you're the one introducing errors into a working deployed system.
