That's fine; I just think that if you mean "Don't specify this because
we don't want to implement it and will refuse to do so" you should just
say that instead of making it sound like there are unspecified security
issues with the proposal.
Boris,
It's more often your group that makes a stand with merit-less refusals.
See devicePixelRatio and CSS scrollbar styling for an example of that.
So, sure, I can see why you'd assume other groups would do the same.
Adam,
Would you be willing to dig up the bug report on webkit that documented
your attempts
to satisfy javascript: urls in embedding?
I did a little bit of poking around, but didn't find it.
I agree that data-uris are much easier/preferable, but I'd still like to
see where the conversation went
on the webkit dev list and/or bug list.
