Actually I understand that. My point is that I find this concept *limited*.
Having to select a 'hat' before your 'journey' (some times without even
knowing what the options are, look at the message that originated this
thread) IS NOT better at all than having all your "granted" hats with you
during your journey (connection) so you can use the one you need without
having to go all the way back and start a new 'journey' when find out you
need some other 'hat'.

IMHO, the concept of ROLES *could* change to something more 'smart', a
'server side only' feature, transparent for the client which whould'n have
to know anything about it (like it's names). And users would have all it's
granted rights without having to logoff/login (if I have the right, WHY
should I have to do that?? There's no logic on that!)

I'm not saying it's wrong, I understand how it works and IMO, it can (and
should) be *enhanced* -- by the time it gets important enougth to get into
FB development tight schedule already full of great and (probably) more
important enhancements.
