I am spinning this off from bug 1371793 because that is more general being about the ability to create a number of different types of about: URLs. For the reader mode API support we are only interested in the ability to call tabs.create with an about:reader URL, so I am narrowing the scope for this bug. Some discussion has already occurred in bug 1371793, and a security review has been opened via bug 1390035.
Note that this is still awaiting a security review (bug 1390035), but if we can finalize the implementation via this bug that might help facilitate the sec-review.
Summary: Allow tabs.create to creats about:reader URLS. → Allow tabs.create to create about:reader URLS.
Is the proposal that extensions actually constructor about:reader urls? I think that if we can avoid exposing the url structure that would be good, since there's now a reader more property in Tab objects, how about just adding the same property to create options and creating an appropriate reader url if it is set to true?

That is a very good idea. I will update the patch accordingly.
