Hi!
I have been looking at the code for the two different api functions 
JS_EvaluateScriptForPrincipals() and JS_EvaluateScript(). I am reading 
that the first one is a secure version and takes a JSPrincipals struct 
as a parameter. But where in the engine is this JSPrincipals struct 
used? When spiderMonkey is embedded in the mozilla browser, does it 
matter which of these functions are called, since the access 
control(same origin) is done in the dom/nsScriptSecurityManager?

Thanks for any help!
