If this conflates things, then you're right not to implement it.

Just checking readOnly, however, might not be the securest thing as
that might be in spoof-mode thanks to some bookmaklet. On the other
hand, maliciously hijacking getUserInfo() to have it return whatever
one wants doesn't seem much harder ...although of course, that -
hopefully - doesn't grant any server priviledges.

So, to sum things up again ...if one desires a 'secure plugin' it
needs to run as a private tiddler possibly requiring ways of attaching
related private information to some private tiddler which relates to
the public one.

As already described a few posts above...

http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywikidev/msg/26b140d7da9b5726

...a simple way to establish such a relation between a public and a
private tiddler might be achieved by interlinking them via some unique
identifier stored in corresponding fields.

I have created a "Talk" in my TiddlySpace...

http://tobibeer.tiddlyspace.com/#%5B%5BOn%20public%20and%20private%20siblings%5D%5D

...with a modified version of store.getTiddler that would allow basic
support for looking up a corresponding sibling. Feedback is welcome,
either here or over there. Let me know if I should @notify someone
else too (or do that yourself).

Eventually, this seems a better approach as compared to using some
global privateConfig tiddlers for plugins that wish to read/write some
private information related to public tiddlers ...which as well
required the mentioned id lookup meachnism ot be really secure.

Cheers, Tobias.
