Sounds great, and I am looking forward to this. The only thing that
you want to be really careful about is how and where you will store
the user's Amazon Web Service account credentials.

It would be neat if any script that wanted to use S3 could call upon
a standard GM function to retrieve the credentials, and prompt the
user for them if they are not known. Then we could all give away
S3-aware scripts without fear of credential theft.

Let me know if there's anything that I can do to help with this
(I assume that this was inspired (at least in part) by my recent
blog post: http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2006/03/firefox_s3_some.html).
