With freenet 0.6 we have bi-directional pipes, maybe it is possible to 
make the connections uni, so that the connecting peer only sends 
requests, and the "server" only sends results. However, opening two 
connections A->B and B->A does not seem valueable either.
This would imply an higher connection count (bad for the small world 
thing?).

We could bring the world on SSL if freenet rocks (SCNR).
But anyway, why not add the possibility to put a personal homepage aside, 
mimicing an apache or IIS or boa or anything webserver, and suddenly more 
and more people present their (legal) content via https and run a node.

This shall not be the only option, because some providers block or slow 
down connections to clients. We _have_ to make it work with outbound 
conns only or other restraints.
