I feel that would be perfect for 9.1 and supporting access to the
general catalog is something that, if we figure out a sane way to
do it, we could always add later (if there's demand, etc).

For those bits of the catalog which *do* meet the requirements you
mention, I hope it'll be possible for the security module to access
them?  Does make me wonder if we might consider adding a field to those
to support a label rather than trying to figure out a way for a third
party to provide a shared/nailed relation.

	Thanks,
