829203 - ENH: 'domain' in self module

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Gregg Lind (Fx Strategy and Insights - Shield - Heartbeat )]

There exists nice code for turning ADDONID into a domain (that is safe), at:

https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/app-extension/bootstrap.js#L96

It would be nice if this code made it into 'self' so other modules can use it.

Is this still needed for the indexeddb stuff? I think Mossop suggested some stuff sometime after you filed this.

It's just a nice to have, in the same way that the "root addon preference" is a nice to have.  I am fine closing.  (Also, I already patched the `indexeddb` at https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/pull/719).
