Why?  What user-visible purpose does this distinction serve?

If you have a trusted key, you can sign both versions, and declare a single
security permissions level in the JNLP file.

As a user, I'm either going to trust you or I'm not.  My trust of your app
has nothing to do with which version of Java I have.  If I don't trust you,
I'm not going to change my mind just because I have J2SE 5.0 installed.  If
I do trust you, I'm not going to change my mind just because I don't have
J2SE 5.0 installed.  So as a user, I don't understand what you, the
developer, are trying to achieve by making this distinction.  Please
explain.
