Why HTTPS?: (Lets forget the web interface for a moment here) Why should the
client daemon talk to the server using HTTPS? Isn't an SSL connection over
TCP sufficient? I personally do not want to involve HTTP in a client-server
communication where there is *no* web browser involved.

IPC: When there is network, why IPC? This limits future scalability.

I've updated the webpage with my proposal of the design. (
http://www.nkarthiks.info/acmeattic/index.php?title=Implementation#Alternative_Design_Proposal).
I am just being more flexible with the design.

The web application has to perform many of the client actions such as
handling keys, perform diff's, handling sharing semantics, etc. Since this
is already implemented in the client, why not reuse the core in the webapp?
