Meh ... doesn't seem like much of an improvement. You still need
to store something that's not there now. This also seems to require
some shaky assumptions about decisions having been made when storing
still being valid later on. Given the possibility of granting or
revoking permissions for SET, I think we don't really want it to act
that way.
