deploy mod as spk

This idea is very much different from the design of how mod works currently though.

However, deploying mod as spk would greatly reduce the complexity of how to use it, e.g. trust mod, trust author, trust certificate, code signing, certificate cost, crl/ocsp verification, migrating root certificate, signed by spotfire account, signed by third party certificates, etc.

We try to make a document for our customers about how to use/develop mods, it turns out to be very complicated.

Many/Most of our customers use Spotfire internally only and really don't care much about trust or code signing, everything inside the corporate is trusted. If admin deployed a spk(mod) then everyone can use it safely.

Thanks.
