The word 'trust' can be misused and can have multiple meanings [1]. The word 'privileged' describes the concept in less ambiguous terms.
I have also reworded the informative section of the previous 'trusted applications' section in a way that (in my opinion) better motivates the need for this class of apps. I think the 'use cases' part needs further rewording in a later pull request.
Some additional improvements will be needed to the 'security considerations'
section, but I think this needs a more thorough bit of editing.
