+/**
+ * nsIBrowserGlue is a dirty and rather fluid interface to host shared utility
+ * methods used by browser UI code, but which are not local to a browser window.
+ * The component implementing this interface is meant to be a singleton
+ * (service) and should progressively replace some of the shared "glue" code
+ * scattered in browser/base/content (e.g. bits of utilOverlay.js,
+ * contentAreaUtils.js, globalOverlay.js, browser.js), avoiding dynamic
+ * inclusion and initialization of a ton of JS code for *each* window.
+ * Dued to its nature and origin, this interface won't probably be the most
+ * elegant or stable in the mozilla codebase, but its aim is rather pragmatic:
+ * 1) reducing the performance overhead which affects browser window load;
+ * 2) allow global hooks (e.g. startup and shutdown observers) which survive
+ * browser windows to accomplish browser-related activities, such as shutdown
+ * sanitization (see bug #284086)
