  I was hoping to get a response on this from the module author(s), but to
make things clean, this is an official request.  Given the interesting
programatic and security issues with this feature, as well as previous
posts on the subject, why cannot the current mechanism be used, and if it
is just because the form is confusing, what would make the form clear?

  I would hate to have an insecure feature implemented when all that was
needed was better language or structure.

  Cheers!
