Actually, the default right now is somewhat restrictive. I advocate this mainly because it will probably tend to open things up. By default today you aren't supposed to just go touching things without pinging somebody, and that is probably a reasonable default, but having an easy way to open things up where it makes sense is a good idea. -- Rich
