  As the estimable Mr. Desmond points out, I don't think it's that simple.

  By reading the MSFT docs, I've been able to discern that

<-q> suppresses an "Are you sure?" prompt.

<-m> modifies the local machine policy (as opposed to?).

<-ag 1.> "adds a new code group to the code group hierarchy", with <1.> as the 
parent group ID.  But it's not at all clear to me what a code group is used 
for, and what the significance of <1.> is.

< -name FMAuditWebAudit> associates a name with the group being added.

<FullTrust> means normally-present restrictions are being removed.  So then I 
of course wonder, is there a way I can be more granular or restrictive?  Do I 
have to give away the keys to kingdom?

<-site "meters.example.com"> specifies the site the code is coming from, but it 
isn't clear to me if that's in addition to the code group specification 
(logical AND, making things more restricted), or something else.

  But I definitely don't have the big picture, and that scares me.
Look at the security nightmare ActiveX turned out to be.  I don't want to go 
down that road all over again.
