Zooko,

It'd be great to know what some of the use cases are that you'd be
concerned about, so that we could also give them a think over and see
how CSP may negatively affect them. If you could share, that'd be
great.

As written, it's currently not in the spec - this was about starting
the discussion, which has previously been referred to off-hand in past
e-mails going back to chartering.
