I don't have any practical experience with filtered replication
either, but from reading the docs, it seems like the user decides
whether or not they want to filter their replication by passing in the
name of the filter-function in the URL. Therefore, you can't use this
to restrict access to a document, because otherwise, a user could just
modify the URL to remove the filter, and thus gain access to all
documents.
