Is this concept the wave of the future? Possibly, but unless security is no longer an issue, it may not be ready for prime time.

There are simply times when users must be sure that the audience for these documents, spreadsheets and presentations is under control. Think of the remote, but still possible, HIPAA violations in medical libraries.
