Not sure I agree with you here. The situation should be similar to any application server. You grant, via the standard Java policy, AllPermissions to the Framework and potentially the CPA agent. Then those can start establishing their own protection domain from there on. > I have to admit though, that I am > pretty biased, because I am research related and there you work > theoretical for pretty much the most amount of time.

I like OSGi spec from the angle that everything up until loading the bundle is left outside it, since the environment can be very different from PDA to SetTop to Server, but it tries to be extremely precise once the framework is up. For me it is a good thing, because I know the implementors will try to excel over the others. However, it also means I need to know more systems, and the reason why I created "Pax Runner"[1] to let me run effortlessly on many frameworks.
