Hi David.  I must've missed your account application; welcome aboard.

It seems like the minimum new functionality to accomodate this would
be the ability to ask the domtool server to re-process an arbitrary
user's ~/.domtool directory, rather than just the user's own
directory.  Then David could have ~/.domtool/somedomain be a symlink
to another directory whose ACL lets the collaborator do things.
