With thanks to several people here who contributed ideas, I have put
on-line a draft giving two upper bounds on strength of methods in
cohomological number theory: By some careful formulation, the
existing applications of Grothendieck methods in number theory
(notably the Weil Conjectures and Fermat's Last Theorem) can be
founded on a fragment of ZFC with the strength of simple type theory.
The whole apparatus of the SGA essentially verbatim can be founded on
a fragment weaker than the theory of V-sub-omega-times-3.
The draft is at

Thanks again to all who helped, and to all who will comment.
best, Colin
