Comment (by mcs):

 Also -- after Kathy and I hacked things to basically implement option 1 we
 get an "illegal value" exception on some calls to getFirstPartyURI() from
 within the SafeCache code, e.g.,

 [12-04 20:22:11] Torbutton NOTE: FirstParty API failed to get parent:
 [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057
 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [mozIThirdPartyUtil.getFirstPartyURIFromChannel]"
 nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::
 chrome://torbutton/content/stanford-safecache.js ::
 SSC_RequestListener.prototype.onModifyRequest :: line 162"  data: no] http
 ://gtglobal-ocsp.geotrust.com/

 We have not debugged that problem yet... or maybe it is expected.  I think
 all of the errors we have seen are OCSP or some other behind-the-scenes
 load (which means there is no first party URI).
