Somewhat, yes...

This is much more thoroughly documented and laid out, but I'm not sure if
there's anything there that our Perms/Groups systems don't cover.

This is definitely Horde's weakest point. We can *start* to approach 
this stuff
with Horde_Template and Giapeto, but not really. Work along this line is where
I see one of the main goals of post-Horde 3.0 development.

I think our Registry system covers this just fine.

This would be pretty easy to build on top of DataTree. Nifty ideas. :)
