41    <p>Before trying to pass a request to a 'real,' underlying content provider
42    (which will most likely be a remote content provider distributed to this
43    UCB), this proxy first activates any remote content providers that have
44    been distributed here, but are still inactive (see
45    <type>RemoteContentProviderAcceptor</type> and
46    <type>XRemoteContentProviderActivator</type> for more information).

48    <p>The way this works might change, therefore this interface is marked as
