That's a best guest. Richard has already said that he want's to boot to
a browser without human interference, and so I assume[1] that he wants
someone to be able to browse the web without "messing" with the rest of
his computer.
That's a best guess from the information he's given us.
[1] I know, if you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME (yeah, I remember
Benny Hill.)
