Oh, now I'm not sure if I think that this is a good idea.
Hm. So with this patch, people can use up your disk space if and
only if they've been given a write-cap. If they have a write-cap
only to an SSK file, then all they can do is write a bigger file in
that SSK slot. If they have a write-cap to a directory, then they
can mkdir a new directory, unlink it from its parent, and thereafter
have unlimited ability to write files or dirs.
Well, I guess it's a start. Please consider Brian's suggestion to
make the configuration name even more specific. :-)
I'll commit your documentation patch.
Thanks!
Regards,
Zooko
