I'm not convinced that sandboxing is only useful for untrusted code. 
Sometimes my trusted code has bugs (e.g. I would like to be able to look 
at random images or documents or expose my webapp to the world), and 
I would really like for it to not be able to be tricked into doing 
something it shouldn't. I would also like to be able to compute in shared 
environments.

Best,
Jack
