The perimeter defence will honour things like uPNP as long as no device does something stupid with it. Given how consumer gadgets are cobbled together that probably means never (I'd like to be proven wrong, but I think I have a pretty good idea of the measures taken by gadget producers to make sure the local intern does not take shortcuts while customizing the local android clone for their fridge)

If there was a way to make sure random third-party developers do not demand over-broad accesses just because they can, it avoids work and no one's looking android apps would install automatically without any 'do you really want to let the app do that' phase.
