Should nsIRenderingContext be on this list, or will it be discussed some
other time?  Having a frozen drawing interface would be very useful for
people who are using the mozilla framework to develop applications in an XP
environment. Currently we have nsIGraphics, but this is very limited.  I
think it might be possible to IDLify nsIRenderingContext or provide an IDL
interface with most of these functions.

For example, if one wanted to implement a cross-platform plugin system,
rather than the current system that uses platform-specific API's, a frozen
drawing interface would be necessary.  (I'm actually tinkering with a XUL
plugin system for a custom application).
