    BetaMax didn't die. It was killed by the consumers because it wasn't Open... I think there is a lesson to be learned here.

    To hell with marking up your disks. I just mounted a write-protect bypass switch on the front of the drive. One o' da switch and format away.

    Iron-clad authentication/validation, everywhere.
    There is no such thing as "Iron-clad" validation, but validation tied to something physical (retinal scans?) will come pretty close to this in less than 10 years, IMHO.
    Portability of user authentication and of services to other (untrusted) networks
    You can never have authentication portability to untrusted networks, because, by definition, they are untrusted. OTOH, it should be possible to set up (with existing tools) a globally distributed LDAP or NIS+ tree to accomplish the reasonable part of what you're trying to do here.
