Hi again Liam,

Okay so now I am rereading your post and my followup and saying to myself, oh,
shouldn't we actually be using the markup to make sure stuff is properly
sandboxed ...?

(*ding*!)

Is that what you were getting at? It doesn't entirely relieve my concern but
it helps to address it, for sure.

Thanks, Wendell

This is why there are sandbox facilities in HTML, in which you can say,
"beneath this element, no scripting is allowed and any additional CSS rules
will be ignored". The mechanism gives separate control over script, style,
iframe.
