What about if we put the check into the driver, so you could call 
$object->hasPermission($perm), and that'd call the driver object in 
tern. Then the IMSP driver can override the default implementation.

Something similar in the driver object for permissions on the actual 
sources...

Yeah, we'd need hooks for that part - no objection from me to adding them.
