RE: Secure Chrome

Secure chrome and safe browser mode if designed properly would be an
extremely attractive option.

Hello,

one of the topics that we believe to be likely candidates for
further work as an outcome of the workshop in New York -- and
that we solicit your feed-back on -- is Secure Chrome.

This kind of work would cover best practices in terms of what
sites should or should not be able to control in a browser's
user interface, and, possibly, a switching mechanism between a
rich and a safe browser mode, as discussed at various occasions
in New York.

To a certain extent, this is the flip side to the secure
metadata discussion: Secure display of metadata requires that
there are parts of the chrome that can't otherwise be written
to, and that can't be hidden easily.

Now, let the discussions begin...

Regards,
