           Summary: That autofocus attribute will wreak security havok.
                    What an ignorant idea to bring more logic to HTML. I
                    think I know a couple of ways to abuse it, since it
                    actually is some sort of flow control, which only
                    scripting languages should be capable of. I hope

That autofocus attribute will wreak security havok. What an ignorant idea to
bring more logic to HTML. I think I know a couple of ways to abuse it, since
it actually is some sort of flow control, which only scripting languages
should be capable of. I hope it never gets implemented in Firefox. I am really
shocked. -Skyphire.
