nit: personally i'd leave out line 91, since that order might change or we might
add new threads, and this comment would go out of date

Good point.  Changed to what I was really thinking when I wrote it, which is:


  // Called once for each thread owned by the content framework just
  // before and just after it is torn down. This is in reverse order
  // of the threads' appearance in the BrowserThread::ID enumeration.
  // Note that you will not receive such a call for BrowserThread::UI,
  // since it is the main thread of the application.
