I was imagining that you could come up with a security
paradigm that the authorization to modify a job once
submitted might be independent of the authorization and
authentication necessary to submit the job in the first place.
That is, the submission process itself might return some
credentials for subsequent job manipulation operations.

I'm worried that unless we make progress on authorization,
we'll either have a free-for-all (no security) or else a lack
of interoperability (there is no global authentication domain
that works across the Internet).
