Hello.

This is my first post to this mailing list, so, before anything else, I 
would like to say hi to the fellow Fuseboxers. I am just a newbie who is 
interested in the methodology and who has been trying to get a hold of 
its concepts for the last 3 days. So far, I think I have made 
significant progress and am very happy with what I have learned.

To solidify my understanding, I have built a very simple application 
with a basic authentication scheme and some dummy pages. What I am 
trying to do now is add security control to it. I have found out about 
the proposed security model� on Hal Helms' website and applied it to my 
simple application. It works, but I have some questions. Here is a code 
snippet from a circuit's FBX_Switch.cfm file, where I use the tag:

   <cfmodule template="#fusebox.rootPath#secure.cfm"
             userPermissions="3"
             requiredPermission="1"
             model="bit">
   <cfif variables.isPermitted>
     <cfinclude template="dspHomePage.cfm">
   <cfelse>
     <cflocation url="#self#?fuseaction=authentication.login">
   </cfif>

Questions:

1) Despite the fact that I am hardcoding the user permissions, is my 
usage correct?

2) Must I use Fusebox's API's rootPath variable like I did in order to 
refer to the secure.cfm file or should it be done in another way?

3) What are the chances of Hal Helms' proposal become part of the 
Fusebox specification and when would that happen?

Thank you,
