"For 99.9% of the planet that could be tricky."

That's actually a very big problem. For years people have believed that you can somehow "sandbox" code, so it won't be able to harm your system, and for years people have warned that this might be an illusion. Now we actually see yet another proof that it was.

Now if we had some decent people at the W3C we would see Javascript being phased out.
