Re: [xsl] HTML5 semantics and XSLT

["Piez, Wendell A. (Fed) wendell.piez@xxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

To Mike's question "And presumably any harm that can be done using this
exploit could equally be done by executing untrusted HTML in the browser
directly?"

Indeed it could. These apparent or supposed 'vulnerabilities' are often not in
the systems at all but in the systems they are wrapped inside. In this case
the outer system is the one in which a user thinks an electronic document
transmitted as an email attachment is somehow fundamentally different from an
untrusted web site. (Or at least I think that's a big part of the problem
here.)

Cheers, Wendell
