I think the question that hixie had, was does it answer the use cases?
In which ways, what does it break, what does it improve? (with code scenarios)

Is there a document with what the content providers are doing? 
What code (workaround) are they using?
How to solve it with code without focusing on  one possible solution?

In which ways? Could you give more details. (code+explanation)
