Right. Just on that point, it would be perhaps
advantageous to advance that 'typical user'
profile as part of a general statement on security,
and perhaps get that general statement posted
on the web site in the /security/ corner.
I wrote a lot about this in terms of goals in a
recent essay ... but it's not necessary to go
quite so dogmatic as to declare a goal; that's
just a convenient handle by which you communicate
the seriousness of the statement.
