Sure, but you certainly can't do something that sophisticated without a
special arch server (note that you want to restrict based on the _source_
file, which requires groveling through the changeset to validate in arch).
My point was that those things an arch `dumb server' _can_ do, needn't
require much from the server administrator or changes to arch. I mean, I
don't oppose every change to arch for access control purposes, but my
impression is that the changes being pushed in this thread are a bit
questionable.
