Sounds great! It should be fairly amenable to subclassing since 
SPOPS::Secure::Hierarchy is a subclass of SPOPS::Secure. 
SPOPS::Secure itself could use some cleanup in terms of interface 
and naming (e.g., why is there check_action_security(), 
check_security() and get_security()? ack!), so if you have any ideas 
speak up.
