For another potential platform independent security problem in
HTML[1], see:
http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ZopeSecurity/ClientSideTrojan
this a bit different though, as you can't breach the security of your
computer, just other web sites where you have non-standard privileges
(whether this is based on IP address, HTTP authorisation, or cookie
based scheme - did I miss anything?).
Footnote:
[1] I will blame HTML for it here, but technically, you could argue it
isn't HTML's fault.
