Hi Ravi, this looks awesome! There's a lot in the paper about the
concurrency control issues (promises, transactions, replication, etc) but
little about access control (section 2.1.1). I'm curious in particular about
"limiting access by controlling the lookup mechanism ...". Could you expand
on this some and give some examples? Thanks.

Also, are you assuming a fabric of mutually suspicious machines? Does your
distributed transaction mechanism work across such a fabric?

In what form do you expect to release the code? Under what license? I'm
really looking forward to using this if I can!
