It is applied to IDefaultBrowserLayer. Currently, yes it is inherited by 
all skins. At one time there were two separate proposals, one to not 
inherit from IDefaultBrowserLayer and another to remove 
IDefaultBrowserLayer entirely. I vote to eliminate IDefaultBrowserLayer 
entirely once we officially replace the ZMI with GMI.
