EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue
yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: As far as I can tell, this is already well-defined (through WebIDL).
Off-hand, though, I don't know if it's well-defined to allow or disallow it;
you'd have to check WebIDL carefully to determine that.

Adam: If WebIDL or HTML5 need to change to handle this security issue, please
file a new bug stating exactly what should change.
