On all the other platforms, htt_server runs as root,
especially with ATOKX, which needs root previledge. 
This shouldn't be a problem. In default htt_server only accepts
connection from localhost, and will soon be changed to use UNIX
domain socket in default. 
The feature of user dictionary uploading/downloading from $HOME is
undergoing, so the problem of LE directly accessing $HOME will be
resolved soon in the proper way.
Also, the feature not ported between r10->r11, vmseparator is 
planned to be backported to r12, so that LEs needing root 
previledge can run beyond htt_server boundary which can run 
as non-root user.
Running htt_server per user is also a valid option supported, for
whom wants to do so, as the developpers usually do so during
development.
In r12, specific --user option is planned to be introduced for
such paranoia, but mostlikely this option is not needed for most 
of the users.
