To elaborate, WoT is the bit that users will most want to use full disk encryption etc. As well as being more demanding technically. Ideally we'd use some sort of deniable partly-on-network storage. There are various ideas for this. Of course we'll need help from the node. We could perhaps have it poll the USKs for us while WoT is not running, for example. So in the long run we probably want to split WoT up - part of it will run on the node, and poll the forums in such a way that it is hard to distinguish from any other user. The other part will run on the client (potentially also on the node, but not necessarily), and handle the individual user's actions as well as the UI.
