There was a discussion a month ago about sandboxing scripts, here it is: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005294.html http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005301.html http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005335.html http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2005-December/005336.html
However, the ideas about sandboxing have been neither accepted nor rejected by others on this list, and the proposal didn't make it to WA1 current-work. It's a pity that these ideas are getting ignored because script security is a very important concern nowadays, and there are many real-world use cases for script sandboxing.
I think the proposal deserves to be reviewed and discussed on this mailing list. I'd love to see it end up in WA1, so I call for comments on Hallvord Steen's and my ideas described in the postings linked above.
