To which I say: Pish and tosh!

It's a teaching compiler, for Pete's sake! Do we really need to protect each
other's files from malicious access, or just accidental ones? My point was
that providing the delete button should prevent _accidental_ deletions, which
is certainly acceptable security for how I use WebAda. If someone needs to
be better protected, let them copy their files to their local node periodically.
I wouldn't waste too much time on an ultra-secure implementation.
