Comment(by kpreid):

 * A directory (currently) can only contain items from the same grid. If I
 have items on multiple grids, I still need multiple aliases.
 * If I use a single root directory, I have an especially large authority
 of a sort which is more likely to get accidentally leaked than a tahoe
 aliases file.

 I like your WUI ideas. In fact, I suggest that the WUI should (optionally,
 in case of publicly-accessible WUI) indicate when a directory being viewed
 is an alias, independent of renewal configuration. (Thus a pet-name
 system...)
