There was some discussion in this thread:

    http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0702&L=JINI-USERS&P=7651
    http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0702&L=JINI-USERS&P=8722
    ...

The primary motivation was to facilitate specifying, in a
configuration file, arbitrary context elements, like a
BasicUntrustedObjectSecurityContext, to use for the
Security.verifyObjectTrust invocation (whereas BasicProxyPreparer
always uses the specified constraints as the sole context element).
