That loses most of the niceness of sharing via Tahoe.

With Tahoe caps, I can give you access to any subtree, but not provide you
any ability to access anything outside the subtree, and I can give you one
subtree now and another tomorrow.  With your suggestion, I have to pick in
advance which subtree I'm going to make available to the whole world.  If I
want to be more selective I then have to add some additional access control
mechanism on top of it.
