I thought maybe a the new year would result in the "items in multiple 
collections" problem disappearing, and well I guess it didn't happen.  
So back to reality.  I've started another wiki page on the idea of  
"compartmentalization", that is, representing items in multiple 
collections as copies of the item in each collection:

This seems to be the best route to solving the access control problems, 
but it introduces some other problems, mainly with the how webui is 
going to work with the new model.  I'd like others including the webui 
guys and gals to chime in on what they think.
