Utilizing a sandbox is not a new concept to JavaScript. Browsers create a sandbox everytime there is a frame from a different domain. With hacks, these sandboxes can even pass information between each other. Fragment identifier takes the safer road with string only message passing. Subspace is another hack that allows real objects to be passed. Of course the challenge is providing a safer, easier mechanism for sandboxing with meaningful communication, and providing it at the language level. I think I am seeing how some of the different aspects of the language are different parts of putting the puzzle together. But sandboxing itself is not unexplored territory with JS implementors. BTW, If only string information was allowed to flow between, this would not be nearly as difficult, right? Kris
