Plugins are inheritly unsafe and will have access to anything a normal process has. If client-side scripting is going to be provided on a plugin with the same access to the system, then it's still a plugin. Hence, I see no problem talking about "plugins" for "trusted" applications and not even mention scripting in that case (for now). Then we can reserve the word client-side-scripting for third party / downloaded scripts. -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
