Bobby Holley has added infrastructure on nsIPrincipal called
"OriginAttributes" which is intended to be an extension hook to allow
things like double keying. As long as we use the 'origin' attribute on
nsIPrincipal, and make sure that all callers pass in an nsIPrincipal
rather than an nsIURI, then we should be able to relatively easy add
double keying in the future.
