UX Updates
lco

- Here's the outdated version: http://people.mozilla.com/~lco/ProjectSPF/CtP/130212%20CtP%20concepts.pdf
- Shorlander's experiments: http://people.mozilla.com/~shorlander/files/click-to-play-prototype/clickToPlay-Mockup-03.html
- I'll be gone at MWC from 2/22 to 3/1 so I will be pretty unresponsive during that time
- I'm going to try to get another rev of the CtP stuff done before I leave
