On a subject of authentication, I've always been puzzled why the token

If it were, it would be dead simple to render a bit of HTML and

this because of the rather complex signature mechanism, but we're so
incredibly close, yet so depressingly far away from being able to do
this.
Quite true. It would make testing much easier, too.
