Isn't the point of this exercise that we're defining a platform that 
applications can take advantage of? Obviously for the most part we're 
doing that using code that applications already take advantage of, but 
let's not view this as a situation where a lack of existing code means a 
problem is unsolvable. If we don't want to force users to make a choice 
between broken applications or potential security risks we don't really 
have a choice in the matter.
