This could be a good push for interoperability, but it is more likely to end up being another vector for inadvertent data disclosure as the majority of people just click "Yes" when asked for permission.

This is not a background process but a way for a user to actively share data between web apps - it's a "push" action the user must instigate, not a "pull" from the third-party wanting access to the data. There is no more "inadvertent data disclosure" than when someone knowingly tweets a link to a file in their public dropbox, or uploads an image to Facebook.

At the moment there is a specific prompt for the user to choose the app that they want to use when an action is invoked.
