No, you understood correctly, though I misunderstood what was being  
asserted. My point was that rainbow should maintain security records  
in a separate database on which it should perform access checks,  
instead of having to read activity.info files each time.

That said, I don't find sticking the permission declaration into  
activity.info to be a good idea; a separate file in the activity  
bundle called 'permissions.info' or similar, and in the format parsed  
by the git tree to which I linked, is how I'd like to approach the  
problem.
