Addendum
========

It seems possible to increase the level a user has in a Web Application by
adding indicators in the User-Agent. For instance, when using an application
that's actually signed by someone considered trustful by the User-Agent (or the
distributor of the User-Agent), a little green icon could be presented to the
User, so they know that they can be confident about this.

A bit like User-Agents do for SSL, but for the actual signature of the files
being viewed.
