The background update agent needs to be able to parse the update XML document in order to check for updates. It seems likely that the in-tree XML parser will not work for us here, so a strong possibility is that we want to use a Rust crate.

This IDL mechanism is a bit over-engineered for what I need it for, but it will allow me to interact with it via Firefox and write a test that can be pushed out to Try.

I don't plan to seek review for these patches, since they won't merge in their current form, but it anyone has an opinion on them, I'd be happy to hear it.

Priority: -- → P2

Change of plans, I would like to request review of the mockup part of the patch since its code will likely be largely used as-is and it would be good to know if there are any problems with it now.
