Subject: lack of final modifier in Applet methods
It seems to me that it would be better to make certain Applet methods
(e.g., getAppletContext, getCodeBase, getDocumentBase) final.
If getCodeBase were final, for example, it would be possible for a number
of applets hosted on the same site to exchange sensitive information among
themselves, knowing that they were not sharing it with a rogue applet.
