I understand what you are describing and you may well be right.  I was
approaching it from the point of view that the semantics of PAI is to
'assert' the actual identity of the request originator within a trust
domain.  Given the intent of the PAI, my natural reflex is not fudge it
with admin-definable data as it could denature its purpose but I realize
that is all very debatable.  Scott, I would like to hear your take on
this.
