The sun/oracle plug-in allows running of mixed signed and unsigned code,
The user can control if a warning should get displayed before running mixed
code:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/mixed_code.html

The main problem with icedtea-web 1.1.6, 1.2 and head are that icedtea-web
drops all privileges unconditionally for singed jars when they get mixed with
unsigned code, in this case no security dialog are displayed at all.
This icedtea-web behaviour currently break all applets and jnlp code that try
to mix unsigned and signed code.

The JogAmp JOGL test applets above are based on the assumptions that mixing of
code are possible and dates back to the sun created code:

applet are now unsigned since oracle no longer maintains jogl, I added the URL
to prove my point)
