Luckily what we're designing is better: In the 9grid we envision, if somebody is from C they are still considered as a C client for any/all authentication purpouses even though they may be coming from B, or from [AD-Z] for that matter. So filtering C /lib/ndb/auth-style is still going to work, with or without trusting B. some of us have spent quite a bit of time thinking about it. andrey ps: there's a 9grid list where this could be continued.
