Dear all,

While we are discussing related security models, it might also be worth 
considering some of the following as input:

* The WAC core security specifications [1]
* The BONDI App Security Framework [2]
* Chrome extensions security model and permissions [3,4]
* The webinos security model (currently being updated) [5]
* The Widgets security model landscape analysis from 2008[6]
* The security controls introduced by 'Gibraltar' as per this paper [7]

I'm working on an analysis of these (and more) as part of the webinos 
project.  So far, all I've done is create a list of links and relevant 
related work, which you can find at [8].  I hope it will be helpful for 
this working group when it is finished.  I would very much appreciate 
suggestions or comments.

Best regards,

John
