Subject: It's not security, but rather multi-user vs. single-user Stanbol

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the disconnect that we're seeing in the
security discussions...isn't that more about the following two modes
of using Stanbol?

Single user Stanbol:
A stateless engine that's accessed by trusted systems, which are
supposed to handle security and access control by themselves

Multi-user Stanbol:
An engine that's accessed by non-trusted users and might store their
data, so needs security features, user management, etc.

Agreeing on these two usage modes might help us have more constructive
discussions, IMO, about features that multi-user requires but
single-user doesn't even want to see.
