Eric, thanks for the link to the docs; very helpful.

Michael, when you have a chance can you look over the InstallTrigger page and 
let me know if it accomplishes most of what you were referring to with the 
link fingerprinting?  If this is already supported in Mozilla then I think we 
should aim for this instead of trying to get something new integrated.

Eric's probably right that we would need a download registration system like 
SF.net in order to publish the links; that might be the best way to handle 
bug#17302 (mozdev.org should allow for secure installs).  I'll comment on 
that bug to keep track of ideas there, as well.
