Kyle, thinking further outside the box, files would no
longer have owners or permissions. Nor would
directories. People, groups, managers, and other
objects with have permissions. One might tag a file
with the object that created it so you could implement
"self" rights which might be use to replace the
concept of /tmp directories.
