That student you're referring to is Deian Stefan, who's doing work on extending 
the expressiveness of the browser security model to allow you to do things you 
can't today (e.g., using third-party sites across-origin without danger of them 
compromising the integrity of your DOM or leaking privacy to their server, 
without requiring any special HTTP headers).

I also introduced Ivan to jimb, so it should come as no surprise that I think 
the two projects are independent. :) The reason I got him in touch with the 
devtools team is that this is a bug-finding tool, rather than high-stakes 
engine infrastructure. IOW, I agree with Mark that it doesn't need to be sound.
