To elaborate, WoT is the bit that users will most want to use full disk
encryption etc. As well as being more demanding technically. Ideally
we'd use some sort of deniable partly-on-network storage. There are
various ideas for this.

Of course we'll need help from the node. We could perhaps have it poll
the USKs for us while WoT is not running, for example.

So in the long run we probably want to split WoT up - part of it will
run on the node, and poll the forums in such a way that it is hard to
distinguish from any other user. The other part will run on the client
(potentially also on the node, but not necessarily), and handle the
individual user's actions as well as the UI.
