nsContentSecurityManager::IsURIPotentiallyTrustworthy is supposed to be implementing:

https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-secure-contexts/#is-origin-trustworthy

nsContentSecurityManager::IsURIPotentiallyTrustworthy operates on a URI though, whereas the spec algorithm works on an origin. Working on a URI means that IsURIPotentiallyTrustworthy does not handle blob: URIs correctly as defined here:

https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url-origin
> Working on a URI means that IsURIPotentiallyTrustworthy does not
> handle blob: URIs correctly

Or more correctly, the code that calls it typically is not.

The IDL comments need to stop mentioning "URI", right?

I guess this works because getCodebasePrincipal will actually extract the principal inside the blob: URI... OK.  And I guess we can't add an assertion in nsContentSecurityManager::IsOriginPotentiallyTrustworthy that the scheme is never "blob" because someone could mess with a non-blob URI to give it that scheme.  :(
