An old quirk of XPConnect is that we we actually use the XOW handler for a wide variety of cases, and just rely on the filtering policy to make most things opaque. This works, but is kind of confusing, and we can do better from a defense-in-depth perspective.

This was confusing bz yesterday, which is reason enough to fix it now. Patches coming up.

What is IdentifyCrossOriginObject?  I don't see it anywhere in the tree.

Do we really want to allow the OpaqueWithCall case when XrayForDOMObject?  I would think not.
