Re: [platform-ui-dev] Browser support proposal

Fantastic!

The only comment I have is that going
forward we may well want to have locked down browsers etc.  I wonder
if the set of control parameters should somehow be more open.  For
example, users may not be able to configure the browser to use.  It
may be mandated by the configuration/install.  In that case, an application
may have browser-specific information to pass to configure the browser.
 Users could cast the IWebBrowser down but that may well get into
non-API.  

Related to this, would my code be able
to pick from the installed browsers which one to open?  I may have
content that requires a particular browser.
