Just to elaborate: a bit more investigation proves the
above reasoning is false. 
REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER') returns an actual
user object complete with has_roles(). But 
even so, calling it in an access rule seems to always give
'Anonymous User' as fas as I can tell.

So apparently, this REQUEST variable is actually inserted
in teh REQUEST sometime after access rule is called.

Looks like I'm going to need to go in a different direction.
Maybe I can have a method that sets the skin and is always
called by my main_template of every skin.
