[jsdl-wg] drop User section?

I had a thought on the flight home... isn't the user and group naming
really part of the POSIX executable-application type, just like the
limits turned out to be?  [A side comment is that they are mislabled
for POSIX: userName should be a string, and UserID if it exists should
be a number, etc.]

If we move them to the type-specific App syntax, the User section
would become empty (since we already scoped away the userCredential
element).  I would advocate doing this and "garbage collecting" the
User element from the spec 1.0, but I am certain I do not understand
others' use cases surrounding this element.

Any thoughts?
