Details

(Whiteboard: [systemsfe])

For certain situations (like bug 899574), we need to know the origin of a message passed from a child to a parent service. Right now there is no easy AND secure way to do this using the message manager. Let's add the ability to optionally pass the Principal through sendAsyncMessage, and then validate this principal on the receiving end using the IsPrincipalValid patch from bug 904298.
