Note that security in the browser has been *extensively* studied in
academia, and there are numerous suggestions for improvements in the
literature.

We should *definitely* not try to design an improvements ourselves
without consulting the people who have studied this problem for a long
time.  There are frequent announcements of talks just up the street
from us at MIT on this subject; if people are interested I can forward
these talk announcements as I get them.
