What page (or discussion) linked to that? Just curious.

I'm not sure what there is to worry about but I'm not an expert in the area. For context, this API was proposed for Firefox OS to achieve NFC related features. A patch has been proposed here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=879861 but keep in mind the bug tracker is for implementation updates, it's not a discussion forum. If you want to voice concerns about this API the dev-webapi list would be a good place https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapi As with any API though, it may not be the ultimate method for talking to devices securely. Work on this API is being done to reach parity with existing [native] mobile systems. And as with all things open source, proposing an alternative API would be most effective if the proposal contained a patch :) Kumar
