Could you elaborate on this? I thought part of the point of allowing
certain features to be used was that we could inspect the code and
make sure nothing malicious was going on. Do we actually secure things
in a different way?

Note that what the TAG is working on now does not have the new URL
scheme. It only works for subresources of an HTML document. That
seemed somewhat disappointing to me, but nobody else cared much.


PS: That was an amazing email. I'm sorry I missed it initially. Andrew

Thanks!
