I think Brad put the concern really well, but even for code written by
developers I know---I would rather trust their ability to sanitize a
string inside a JS variable than inside a script tag than "inside JS,
inside an event handler, in response to a DOM event". And I would
trust a review of the former more than a review of the latter.

I tend to agree with Crispin on code data separation. Anything that
mixes the two should have the word unsafe in it.

If not that, then just inline scripts will make me less sad. Allowing
inline scripts and event handlers just because the import is allowed
in script-src is definitely something I would strongly oppose.
