bear in mind that the XS assumes that the XO laptops are in a LAN, not
on the - potentially hostile, end-to-end routed - Internet. Changes
required to use the XS in such scenario are left as an exercise for
the reader -- who's strongly advised to join server-devel@ ;-)

[Eventually we may get a special mode for this, but there's enough
work to do just to do the right thing in the standard scenario of a
school... which is my overriding goal.]

For example, lots of things hinge on XOs registering themselves with
the XS. Well, you should _not_ expose idmgr (the registration service)
to the internet. Never. Ever. Nunca. Jamas.
