Re: Updated NSCL

[Giorgio Maone]

Hi Libor,

your analysis is correct, those two are the "commits of interest" for 
JShelter.

As for the clarifications:

d175c61 Provide a mechanism to prevent inconsistencies / breakages when 
the extension gets updated and therefore the old wrappers are 
invalidated by Firefox which nukes their sandbox and new ones are 
installed on extension's automatic restart

9999407 Is actually a follow up to d175c61, ensuring that the new 
mechanism works also for wrappers forcibly propagated to 
dynamically-created sub-frames.

Best,
