in the Technology Terms. Need to distinguish between mobile code and add-ons.

Mobile Code defined per CNSSI No. 4009. Update to be pushed today or tomorrow.

We really need to define mobile code in this EP; sending people to the App PP is annoying. Ease of use is a priority.

To maintain consistency between the documents the definition from the App has been inserted except Javascript is excluded as an example. The definition reads as follows:

"Software transmitted from a remote system for execution within a limited execution environment on the local system. Typically, there is no persistent installation and execution begins without the user's consent or even notification. Examples of mobile code technologies include" "Java applets, Adobe Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight." JavaScript is not included in references to mobile code in this browser EP.
