2 is going to be the problem since it would be easy for a viewer to
spoof the tags for a "legit" viewer and then you have say the Emerald
folks getting banned because of an AR due to a hacked version
what needs to happen is Linden Labs needs to run a build farm to make
"signed copies" of the viewers is deems to be kosher and have some
checksummed way to id the viewer.
this is going to get very messy very fast.
