// The warden checks request to see if they are for phishy pages. It
// does so by querying our locally stored blacklists.
//
// When the warden notices a problem, it queries all browser views
// (each of which corresopnds to an open browser window) to see
// whether one of them can handle it. A browser view can handle a
// problem if its browser window has an HTMLDocument loaded with the
// given URL and that Document hasn't already been flagged as a
// problem. For every problematic URL we notice loading, at most one
// Document is flagged as problematic. Otherwise you can get into
// trouble if multiple concurrent phishy pages load with the same URL.
//
// Since we check URLs very early in the request cycle (in a progress
// listener), the URL might not yet be associated with a Document when
// we determine that it is phishy. So the the warden retries finding
// a browser view to handle the problem until one can, or until it
// determines it should give up (see complicated logic below).
//
// The warden has displayers that the browser view uses to render
// different kinds of warnings (e.g., one that's shown before a page
// loads as opposed to one that's shown after the page has already
// loaded).
//
// Note: There is a single warden for the whole application.
//
// TODO better way to expose displayers/views to browser view
