*

* broadcast whenever the permission list changes in some way. there

* notification will be broadcast for each change, and will involve

* subject: an nsIPermission interface pointer representing the permission object
* that changed.
* data : "deleted"
* a permission was deleted. the subject is the deleted permission.
* "added"
* a permission was added. the subject is the added permission.
* "changed"
* a permission was changed. the subject is the new permission.
* "cleared"
* the entire permission list was cleared. the subject is null.
