That's correct, but that's a slightly different situation because the 
XBL in that case is bound to an element that is internal anonymous 
content (in the same way that the button inside an <input type="file"> 
is internal anonymous content) that the web page shouldn't have any 
access to anyway.  The <marquee> case is interesting because the element 
the XBL is attached to is in fact visible to the web page.
