Using TkGnats inside the plugin would be cool! I think it's doable,
especially once we have authentication in place through signed code. In the
meantime you can experiment with the "trusted" policy, to see what features
you actually need. You can also deploy it using the "trusted" policy in
controlled (e.g. Intranet) situations, but that wouldn't work on the
Internet because of security issues.
