I remember when the September 11th New Yorker came. I was blown away - so simple, and yet so perfect.

"Blown away" - I wouldn't have used that imagery, but to each his own.

"Recordon pointed out to me that this API affords all the mechanisms necessary to implement the “leased” model of data access (rather than the embedded model), but leaves it up to the OpenSocial applications and containers to set and enforce their own data access policies." Indeed, OpenSocial is about defining the technical capabilities for data sharing, but each container is free to implement their own policies about what a developer can do with the data.
