I like triggers and I'm anxiously waiting for them but only when the 5.0 version will be for production. I spoke from the risk point of view of a new version.
Also, in C/C++ we can make precompiled triggers which can hide the tables only until the MySQL 5.0 version will be ready. The server-side scripts doesn't appear in the client Web page code.
