And what if you can't trust the folks who administer the web service
environment? <gdr>

It's a vicious circle, and the unfortunate reality is that in some
industries, no single person can be considered fully trustworthy. Even the
most carefully screened systems admins must be considered suspect, and
clients look to us to provide solutions that will both limit and reliably
audit their activities. If Microsoft wants to provide platforms on which
ISVs can build for these industries (and MS marketing output would certainly
suggest that you do), perhaps it's time to start providing multi-auth
platforms so that the powers of any single administrator don't extend quite
so far.
