To whom are you planning to market this stuff? Are you planning to 
market it to real people, for whom the avalanche of passwords and certs 
is now a laughing matter (I'm starting to see passwords appear more 
often as jokes in television ads)? Or are you planning to sell it to the 
traditional security community so they can point and say, "see, even the 
capability folk acknowledge that, for real problems, you need acls"?
