Henry Spencer:
Nothing short of cryptographic authentication is a real solution, and
even there, there are some tricky problems.  There are times when you
*want* someone other than the author to be able to cancel an article,
e.g. when the article was posted maliciously and real problems can be
averted by getting rid of it.  In cases of things like copyright
violation, it is very important that cancel work.
