Had a quick question on the whitelists. I remember that there was talk of using 
CSP to fix this issue. A CSP file may not be backward compatible, but could 
potentially just give us one list instead of 2 whitelists. The CSP file may be 
like the following

Content-Security-Policy: 
        script-src 'self', foo.com, bar.com 
        img-src cdn.com 
        intent-src mail, sms

Note the new intent-src directive, that is basically used to launch external 
programs. Do you think this could be something we can look at, for 4.0 ? I am 
not sure if our whitelist xml file maps to a W3C spec, but CSP seems more like 
a standard. This is breaking, and 4.0 may be the right time to do it ?

I've created CB-7291 for the whitelist issue, and I've ported the code from 
June to the new-style configuration architecture and committed it to a named 
CB-7291 branch on cordova-android.

If anyone has any thoughts/opinions on the syntax or the proposal itself, or on 
what the defaults should be for new and upgrading applications, please chime in 
on the issue.
