The overall topic is that you've presented as "An Issue" for the TAG a question of how users use and administer their machines, and whether the TAG should intervene. I'm (hopefully clearly) rather opposed to this. If this is the criteria for the TAG getting involved, why not focus on the fact that UAs now tend to expose Developer Tools, and these Developer Tools may be used for nefarious purposes. [1] Should the TAG provide guidance on how developers should be allowed to modify the DOM? Or guidance for Site Authors on how to prevent modifications to the DOM? Should the W3C provide security UI guidance for users who open their Developer Tools, discouraging them from the evil that may await? You may see it as presenting strawmen, but I'm trying to show how your stated criteria provides a very shaky foundation, one which quickly encroaches on things I hope we all know to be Terribly Bad Ideas for the W3C to be involved in, and hopefully to demonstrate that this is equally one of those Terribly Bad Ideas.
