If a contractor is required to use a particular device; short of reverse engineering, the purpose of a trusted service is to require secure and accepted device in order to view confidential materials. It's quite possible that the device would run webkit, mozilla or another browser code base. This proposal encourages outfits to use HTML, instead of getting stuck in Flash/Silverlight. That's a good thing, isn't it?
