Futuring, as it isn't needed for 0.3, but we should seriously consider this as a candidate for 0.4 or 0.5 when we start planning those releases.  It'll take non-trivial programming to implement, so we should also think about who can take this on.

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
