user/src/com/google/gwt/safehtml/shared/SafeUri.java:41: * context in
which the URL is used matters too (link {@code href} vs. image
This sounds somewhat dangerous, actually. It seems like if context
matters, either each context should have its own type, or creators of
SafeUrl instances should stick to the lowest common denominator.

The reason is that the code creating a SafeUrl instance might be far
removed from the code that uses it. If the creator believes that a URL
will be used in iframe context, but actually it isn't, then reviewers
cannot find the problem without having an end-to-end understanding of
the program's data flow, and any refactoring of intermediate code has
the potential to introduce a bug without a type error and without the
reviewers seeing anything wrong.

It seems like the whole point of having safe types with clear contracts
is make sure that local reviews are sufficient to guarantee safety?

I hate the complexity this is likely to introduce, but on the other
hand, a SafeUrl type that isn't actually safe doesn't sound so great
either.
