Faceless processes run completely outside of the Blue Box
(e.g. Networking protocol stack).

Copland applications can't crash each other.  The closest they can
come is crashing the blue box, which gets restarted, and the
application redraws its face.  I would call that "protected from each
other".  Better than Unix/The X Windows System; if you restart your X
server, clients of the old server are out of luck...
