Should've read Jim's stuff *before* I posted this, as he says this here:

"""
Varying level of access with level of authentication. For example, to
gain use of a user's preferences, we might only require a cookie with
their name. To allow the user to change their preferences might require
that they log in with basic authentication. To allow the user to modify
through-the-web code might require authentication over SSL.
"""

The same approach be taken for various debugger options. Very nice.
