Thanks Dan, I think it's important to stress just how important it is for every to secure the keys for their account.  And, glad to see this was so well thought out so different functionality could be utilized would the possibility of compromising the owner key.

If you have a lot of vests and would like to protect the active private key when voting for witnesses, then proxy your votes through a lesser account. This will protect the active private key from those who might try to divest with a compromised key.
