OK. Still got NFI re the distinction between user and member. Or why we
require that distinction. Should we assume it's a placeholder for now?

I'd definitely prefer the ability to group attributes (also assists greatly
with presentation - see NEO for an example) and alter privacy per group.
What's going to be easier for users?

Also, Matt's suggestion of being able to set an even wider privacy level
should be considered. (The field in the DB is there for it, unless you have
something else in mind for that).

Are we going to run into problems here? Aren't articles and comments tied to
users, when they would be better tied to members?

Does that need to be altered?

Or do we want authors contributing articles under their work name, and then
home alias or something?
