The basic idea here is to not allow a tab to use more than a predetermined limit of networking, and possibly battery, while in the background. If we catch a tab using more than the limit, we should block it and prompt the user.

mfinkle, I think we want to notify for foreground tabs as well.

Patrick, what would be the best way to monitor tabs for the amount of data they're using?

[Patrick McManus [:mcmanus]]

we have a per appid measurement.. is that going to work?

We don't have a strong notion of tab. Loadgroups provide occasional standin service.
