Frames are a terrible solution. The content is after all a part of the

do any harm.

The proposed alternative is severely underdefined and won't work for the
foreseeable future anyway.

Minor nit:

  s/proposed alternative/simple strawman to illustrate the point/

I just want the behavior or something that comes close without
necessarily having to resort to aggressive filtering. That is, I don't necessarily want to eliminate scripts from the comments, I just want to
be able to limit their impact.

Either way, I'm fully aware that any new invention here would take a
while to actually work.

Please provide a real use case. I second Anne's point of comment sanitation. Can you give me one single use case when it is useful to use ECMAScript in a comment on a blog? Secondly, just as Bjoern states; a malicious script could easily position new element on top of other elements. Or do you want to restrict that too? I cannot see what CSS has to do with it, since it is not a style issue, but a DOM access behavior issue.
