For non-PB protocols, there are no longer perspectives (for pop3 the
avatar is a mailbox, there is no perspective). For PB, the avatar is a
perspective (typically a subclass of pb.Perspective).

Priviliges and roles are no longer cred's responsibility (the whole
"lets map x perspectives to an identity and stuff"). Write your own
system on top of it if you need to.
