Are JavaScript implementors willing to reimplement window.status? There are obvious security problems with drawing an author-provided string where a certain URI is expected, but could window.defaultStatus not set the name (_NET_WM_NAME or equivalent) of the script's window and window.status either override window.defaultStatus temporarily, or sent to the user, e.g. through Growl or as a Windows toast. The window name is already accessible to scripts (by modifying the text child of <title> through the DOM) so no new security concerns are introduced. The Growl binding might well be better by a new function, though.
