Description

Build warning:
{
warning: interface 'nsIScriptSecurityManager' is scriptable but derives from non-scriptable 'nsIXPCSecurityManager', /mozilla/caps/idl/nsIScriptSecurityManager.idl line 14:0
}

Perhaps nsIXPCSecurityManager should be flagged as scriptable?  Or, is there some security benefit that we get from having it (but not its derived interface) be non-scriptable?

FWIW, nsIScriptSecurityManager has been scriptable since the first patch on bug 55237 landed (in 2000):

[Bobby Holley (:bholley)]

The two interfaces are kind of unrelated, and only ever implemented by one nontrivial class anyway. Maybe we should just remove the inheritance and make nsScriptSecurityManager inherit both separately?
