Actually, I mentioned this one once before in a security discussion
here.

> Pure Capability Architecture

MUDs frequently do this in a primitive way by querying an object for
approval. For example, LP servers call a user-supplied "master" object
to check some permissions. Unfortunately, this is often not extended to
services provided by the mudlib. Lately, I've been considering providing
a built-in system for passing around capability tokens. It'll likely get
implemented Some Day.

This one's already caught on around here. It makes us happy :)

Threading is fairly popular on the list, but we don't have a terribly
large amount of agreement on how to go about it.
