I am not 100% sure that abuse will be a bad enough problem to not add this feature. That said, any solution that tries to add UI to let the user work around problems in a proposed API is dead in the water. The majority of users have no idea what script is, and even fewer are going to think to turn to a 'disable script' button when something in their browser doesn't seem to be working. / Jonas
