Allow basic access to clueless from scripts (e.g. the 'Kill LNS' button to kick my recalcitrant router back into life), whilst we're waiting for the all-singing-all-dancing XML interface (and the ponies).
Allow use of standard HTTP basic authentication (which is easily scriptable), perhaps on a different URL to the standard clueless pages (say https://clueless.aa.net.uk/auth/editline.cgi?ID=1234&KILL=b.gormless) - possibly restricted to a subset of the standard features if necessary.
