I agree, that's a good idea.

The accessible state, and the action for a particular access-route could 
be acquired, like the current security settings. So, I'd have to say in 
only a single folder's accessing tab that all objects below that folder 
that are invisible to web traversal should return a 404.

Isn't there already a fishbowl proposal for this kind of thing? Did it 
get anywhere?
