How about more sophisticated security -- on a user basis rather than a
host basis.

For example, xhost would take user-machine tuples.


ie.   (milgr, *)                       - so I could pop up a window from
anywhere
      (secretary, secretary_computer)  - so the department secretary
could pop up messages from her desk
      (*, my_lab_machine)              - so I could test things from
different logins on my secure
                                         lab machine.
