That security fix also caused at least two different regressions, so I'd be a
little wary of using things it did beyond fixing the editfont injection bug as
precedent.

Oh, will we finally be able to make non-centrally-managed "gadgets" now, taking

gadgets list 200 pages long if all user scripts are converted to gadgets? If
not, this is not particularly helpful.
