And in the original message, what was requested was
"If Mozilla is interested in doing a substantial public service, this
situation could be improved by having Mozilla and MDSP define a static
configuration format that expresses the graduated trust rules as data, not
code."

Mozilla does express such graduated trust rules as data, not code, when
possible. This is available with in the certdata.txt module data as
expressive records using the NSS vendor attributes.

Not all such requirements can be expressed as code, not data, but when
possible, Mozilla does. That consuming applications do not make use of that
information is something that consuming applications should deal with.
