  "JavaScript has a long and inglorious history of atrocious
   security holes. Its security problems are not limited to
   implementation errors. There are numerous ways in which
   scripts can affect the user’s execution environment without
   violating any security policies."

   ref: JavaScript: The Complete Reference

Etc.

Do I think that it is likely that the script from feedburner would be a
problem?  Of course not.  But as a best practice, avoid JavaScript unless
*necessary*, and we're not Google Maps here.  This is an unnecessary
JavaScript case.
