Sure, I'm not implying this. I simply have doubts about any other
major security changes making it into MSIE8 or Firefox 3.
As one of the people who makes these decisions, I can tell you that
I'd be a lot more comfortable cramming option 1 into Firefox 3 or
3.1 than option 3. Apart from the other reasons I've already raised,
option 1, being much simpler and with few degrees of freedom, would
take a lot less time to analyze and converge on a spec.
As one of the people who helps decide for Safari, I would agree that
option 1 is a lot more likely to make it into a security update than
option 3.
