The "Dig Safe" program might be a good model for controlling access to
Sean's work.   This would not preclude further scholarship on Sean's work
but it would keep the data out of the hands of the 31337 crowd.
      Huh ?,  Try this on for size ,  "Hello ,  I am joe's contracting
      service & I have a building permit(I do) and I need to dig at ..."
      If I remeber correctly the "Dig Safe" program will give me the
      info without so much as a check on the permit or my company name .

This is not really correct. They wont tell you over the phone. Rather a
survey company will show up and *mark* the locations where you cannot dig.
The funny part is that they check only first 6 ft i.e. if your conduit is at
the 6.5', touch luck :)
