ISSUE-161: Be clearer about security indicator images [wsc-xit]

9.1

"trust indicating images" is way too general. Sites want to look trustworthy. If only behaving sites don't look trustworthy, only malicious sites will. My proposal:

Web pages MUST NOT include images used by widely deployed web user agents to represent specific security context states or values. For example, padlocks in the web content.
