Would it be possible, for a particular member group to be able to view certain CP Fields?
At the moment it's only for:
1) Admin only
2) Admin & User editable & viewable
3) Admin edit, user view
4) Admin & user but user edit only
^ Something like that..
But what about allowing specific member groups to be able to VIEW the CP fields?
;D ;D ;D
Examples of usage would include:
CP Field: Postal Address
So those who qualify to be part of a group which does trading of stamps / souvenirs, would be able to view the addresses of other similar members. And of course, it is up to the members to be willing to put up their address in the first place of course. But just an example.

Already mentioned a few times, yes it is something that should be implemented indeed.
Adding a 'protected' permission level or two could be done easily (and I was even thinking of doing it - not terribly hard), but something done on a per-group basis would be outside the scope of 1.1 I think.
