ooohhhh man just imagine the phishing possibilities by "rogue" server admins if that functionality was implemented. Playing a game, and then an "official" looking login screen pops up prompting you to "re-authenticate with the Steam cloud or be kicked from the server in 30 seconds" - Steam support would be working overtime helping users get their accounts back.
I imagine some of you here could come up with some really cool stuff too, stuff that could greatly benefit their community.
