I'd add a third: make structured key-management possible, e.g.

At a minimum:  Users should be able to hit a "retire keys / keys
possibly compromised" button, which creates a new seed, forces the
user to make a backup (and allows more than one), then switches to the
new seed and moves all their coins.

"We didn't say it couldn't be done=E2=80=94  We said don't do it!"

Part of the challenge here is that the service does a number of things
people _really_ shouldn't be doing=E2=80=94 things so dangerous that I
certainly won't do them=E2=80=94 and as a result to not use the site turn i=
nto
big education efforts rather than just "use this other thing (that
also does the wrong headed thing you want to do)".
