RE: Action 180 - Make pass through SharedBookmarks and other material; map testing results to status quo

2. Any info that discusses the lack of consistency in presentation of
security context and potential impact if it was consistent?

I have statistics on the IE EV bar as well in my study.  I should be

participated so far, not one has noticed it.
