I'd like to see some flexibility in user experience, permitting users 
with greater UI tolerance and security concerns to forgo convenience 
(some of which is necessary or users will never adopt it, no matter 
*how* secure it may be) and gain greater security thereby. If we get 
a few clearly defined UI's along the acceptable range (between 
convenience and security), we could even add them to PAPE and let 
RP's have the option of denying certain services (or all services) to 
users that just couldn't handle that experience.
