[cap-talk] Webkeys vs. the web

[Raoul Duke]

> Exactly my point.  Although webkeys are URLs that can be shared, I believe that the user interface must treat them differently.  In other words, when it comes to webkeys, we can either eat our cake or have it, but not both.

i assume i am missing some nuance or obvious thing as i usually do,
because it still feels to me like things are at odds: on the one hand
they "can be shared" but on the other hand it seems like the desire is
for the UI to make them /not/ shared.

why is it that the UI strives to make them not shared?

if they really are sharable, then i assume that means they are caps
that do not require further authentication, which to me means they are
too scary powerful to actually have going around like that, because
somebody could leave the DoD laptop on the train by accident and then
somebody else wakes it from sleep and has bookmarks for all sorts of
trouble?

sincerely.
