Brief purpose of API: Notify an app if the user is idle
General Use Cases: Notify a web page is a user is idle (e.g. to change a status

Inherent threats:  Privacy implication - signalling mulitple windows at exactly 
the same time could correlate user identities and compromise privacy

== Regular web content (unauthenticated) ==
Use cases for unauthenticated code: Event is fired when the user is idle
Authorization model for normal content: Implicit
Authorization model for installed content:Implicit
Potential mitigations: Exact time user goes idle can be fuzzy so as to reduce 
correlation

== Trusted (authenticated by publisher) ==
Use cases for authenticated code: As per unauthenticated
Authorization model: 
Potential mitigations: 

== Certified (vouched for by trusted 3rd party) ==
Use cases for certified code: As per unauthenticated
Authorization model: 
Potential mitigations:
