The proposal
Default or optional feature
Marketing case
"Not only am I basing this on the inclusion of a similar feature in OS X, I am also basing this on the fact that some Nigerian children reportedly visited a Web site containing pornography. I have no other evidence." (Ryan)
How often would this feature be used? How do we estimate this?
