Lucas can correct me, but AIUI this is a model that Lucas has
developed for thinking about trust and apps.  These categories may not
have concrete analogs in B2G.

There was previously a lot of talk about somehow requiring that
"certified" apps be somehow restricted from executing arbitrary code,
so we could verify that they're doing what they say they're doing.
But that discussion has been put on hold afaict.

In other words, these are good questions, but they're general
questions about this way of thinking about web app security, and
aren't specific to the browser API and this thread.  If we're going to
have this discussion, I'd appreciate if we did so separately.
