Sorry, please ignore my reply. I sent out a message from last night 
that hasn't gotten through the list yet, and when I read through the 
end of your message (where you mentioned the security model) I 
assumed that you were replying to that *other* message (which I don't 
think you, or anyone else, has seen yet).

The use of AX in *this* message has nothing to do with security, it's 
just the traditional use (sharing Interests and Friends) with some 
exploitation going on to steal away customers from other sites.
