Also, with pearcmd (if you can get to that, there's no open_basedir) and containers a novice sysadmin will publish insecure sites.
It was nice to use when I tried to dabble with it.

If I recall correctly, the site you browse in hypotetical Xanadu-land has to mirror the reference (for transclusions) and get downloaded back (for two-ways links). Payments and that levy system are there because without some freedom to copy content you get dead links with extra steps.It isn't fairly clear, there's no due process, there are no proofs or clues, only Trump's and Shideler's word on that.
