Everything is bound to a security-origin, but that doesn't clearly identify or label an 'application'. Agreed. It would be nice if data was bound to namespaced contexts on a more fine-grained model than origin/hostname. This could potentially be done using the path-based mechanism I just posted about in the thread titled "origin+path namespacing and security". It would be good with a single mechanism that can be extended to confine applications within their own namespaces (to not interfer with each other), be used for security, and for assisting user decisions on what to keep or delete.
