Yeah, we know. We've been trying to avoid introducing another interface 
here if possible, esp. as this is a niche area. If there a wide spread 
use of CFT as a functional interface then we might have to introduce a 
different approach.

On have the security manager issue then you are right although easily 
worked around by granting the agent the permission. We could have the 
new transform method specify both (as you suggest).
