Usecases abound, from ³help me with my computer program², to ³letıs edit this document together², to ³I need technical support for my computer². Clearly, this can be problematic. But these are legitimate use cases, which browsers will (and already do) provide for, though plugins and other means. Surely one can devise a UX which is at least as secure, if only because the scope of privilege (allow this site to inject keyboard/mouse events) will be smaller than what one typically grants to plugins (allow this plugin to do anything at all). -SteveK
