How do you prevent someone to inject a malicious script within a web 
page using the set method of the MAWG API? If you rely solely on the 
host site to setup some security mechanism, then how do you guarantee 
interoperability between sites? At minimal, it seems to me that existing 
technologies addressing this kind of issue should be mentioned.
