Proxy roles are provided/supported by zope security machinery, where's 
the fight?

The only problem with proxy role (AFAICS) is users being able to delete 
answers from other users. In your current design the script with proxy 
role could (should) check if the current user is allowed to delete an 
answer (looking at some attribute). I don't see a big problem.

Well, store all answers from a user in the same folder.
