Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Do preparation work for having new in-content UI have a consistent and unified visual appearance.

2. Users & use cases

Quoting from shorlander's blog post: "The goal is to create something that looks appealing, connects the variety of different types of UI, is recognizably in-content UI and can be styled per platform."

This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)

Breadcrumb trail should be fully testable via browser-mochitests. Visual styling can't be automatically tested, unless we get UI reftests.
