I said nothing of the sort.  Please don't be disingenuous when
interpreting comments.  Your list of issues contained:
• 2 issues that have nothing to do with displaying untrusted content,
and thus are completely irrelevant to the discussion
• 2 issues about blocking particular types of elements, which may be
possible with @sandbox if it's argued persuasively that it would be
worthwhile
• 1 issue about XHTML that would be great to fix, but the XHTML
community has continually had major pushback on whenever browsers have
wanted to fix it (it's not a problem for HTML pages)
• 1 reasonable question that I answered, but which doesn't have any
direct relevance on @sandbox
• 1 reasonable concern that didn't take into account relevant
information, which I corrected

So, there are some areas where we could possibly add more protection
with @sandbox.  None of your issues touched on the important areas
that @sandbox already *does* cover, though.  In other words, please
don't think of your list as exhaustive.  Most it wasn't relevant to
@sandbox at all, and the parts that were relevant only addressed
particular use-cases, which is far from enough to declare that
@sandbox "won't do much".

But you're *not* talking about @srcdoc.  Not a single thing in your
last few emails concerned @srcdoc at all.  You're talking entirely
about @sandbox.

Do you have any specific concerns about @srcdoc?  It would be good to
hear them instead, so you don't accidentally file a bug to remove
@srcdoc and cite only problems you have with @sandbox instead.  It
would be nice if all bugs filed were over relevant and topical
concerns.
