I'm worried if I try to fit this into the existing WebUI framework, I'm 
gonna end up wrangling with the fact that the WebUI expects to have an 
authenticated LDAP user, but we need anonymous access for both 
self-service registration and (eventually) for password reset. I'm not 
sure what kind of changes would be needed to make this work. I'll use 
the stageuser tree either way, though; your argument on that is 
definitely correct.
