Sorry Owen,
discourse is too disruptive for me to spend time on.

I did try to skim the discussion and I think you have quite a few hints
already that this is not an easy path.
What I would recommend though, is to split this monster of a proposal
in smaller progressive steps.

You do not need to get everything super-tight-secure on the first try
(you won't be able to anyway), and building it in steps will allow you
to also (hopefully) offer a more fine-grained choice/configuration
later on.

Simo.
