Dave, our discussion seemed to reach a conclusion, I think Lars has brought up a wider topic, maybe we should start another thread on that? Or maybe Lars wants us to reconsider?

At any rate, the idea of object proxies is something I use for every page I write. Checking permissions, or even maintaining permissions on every object, usually ignores the fundamental organization of data and user roles. I think the flexibility of OACS permissions is very helpful, but writing an application which makes efficient use of permissions still takes some thought, this is always my first job with any package.
