We have been thinking along the same lines. At this point we have made
CodeSource non-final so it can be extended so more attributes can be
added.

to explicitely create protected domains and be able to retreive the security
information object associated with a particular protected domain.

We have also added the ability to create protection domains, and set/get
the protection domain of a class (which will be controlled by a
security permission).
