P.S. I can imagine various goals that might be addressed by this 
proposal, most obviously detection of "unusual activity" a la credit 
card fraud departments.  But I'm not sure whether those are the goals 
we're setting out here, and I think it would be good to be _very_ 
explicit about our goals, so we can evaluate the specific proposals 
against them.
