In MeeGo Smart TV WG Meeting Minutes for 9/20/2011 I noticed:
o Dilip Kenchammana: Qt with HTML5 layer Dilip has
provided a white paper via e-mail. Discussion postponed to next meeting.
Is it possible to get a copy of this whitepaper? I have serious
concerns all-around over the approach being taken, and am curious how
a number of issues are being resolved. Especially w/r/t/ security, and
also because silly breakage needs to be done to very hairy browser
code in order to poke holes for video acceleration and/or
DRM-protection. And once that breakage has been perpetrated, a
tidal-wave of bugreports will ensue because the HTML5 standard permits
canvas like operations on top of the video; also dynamically
altering the video frame. An extreme example:

Especially troubling for the Tizen approach, are statements like:

Q: Narm, is there privacy controls to prevent rogue JavaScript from accessing
private data.
A: Doninique, not that he's seen. Designed for closed system.
Access to scripts and code inside the box is limited by physical security.
