[whatwg] Sandboxing scripts: call for a wider discussion

[Alexey Feldgendler]

There was a discussion a month ago about sandboxing scripts, here it is:
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005294.html
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005301.html
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005335.html
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005336.html

However, the ideas about sandboxing have been neither accepted nor  
rejected by others on this list, and the proposal didn't make it to WA1  
current-work. It's a pity that these ideas are getting ignored because  
script security is a very important concern nowadays, and there are many  
real-world use cases for script sandboxing.

I think the proposal deserves to be reviewed and discussed on this mailing  
list. I'd love to see it end up in WA1, so I call for comments on Hallvord  
Steen's and my ideas described in the postings linked above.
