Any way this could be put in the object properties?

It's worth noting that this is not an application specific concept. It
appears elsewhere (e.g. Windows 7 taskbar and Start menu) and will
probably continue to appear in new applications as well.

My vote is for the state. This is a boolean state, so a state makes
sense. In addition, having it as an object attribute when it could be a
state suggests that it is an application specific hack, and is this
case, it probably shouldn't be implemented as a boolean value at all.

The practical problem with exposing it as a state is that we need a
revision to the IA2 IDL, which may take time that Firefox 4 doesn't have.
