There's no technical mechanism to prevent an author from using any of
the components. You would have to police this manually. For instance,
something like a User Interface Review Board (UIRB) that would review
the apps for compliance and which are empowered to prevent non-compliant
apps from shipping. A novel concept - let us know how it works! ;-)
