My full vision is that rights will be components in the new architecture. An application (XAR) will be a set of pages but also jars with components, external jars, skin extensions, interface extensions. As such an application will be able to bring it Rights. Actually exactly in the way jira is doing this right now. Thus the Rights UI should be generic enough to accept any number of rights. This is not the case right now and this is why I say we should make it scalable. Thanks -Vincent >> for example - It has 20 or so rights).
