I have gotten no further feedback on this proposal other than Clint's note
that he finds this better-specified than the original ESR BROWSER
specification, but hesitates to comment further since he doesn't use it.
I would like to resolve this bug for the next Policy release, but I don't
want to just commit patches on my own say-so.

Could those reading the Policy list please review the patch at:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=172436#154

and either second or point out problems so that we can resolve this and
close this bug?

Thanks!
