Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that I've updated the wiki with a new  
proposed out-of-scope item for malware-infected systems:

http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/NoteOutOfScope

Malware-infected systems (proposed, not final)

When a computer has been infected by malware, it is possible for the  
network stack or local trust systems to become compromised. The  
Working Group will not consider these cases when making  
recommendations, and will assume that the user agent has a trusted  
connection to the platform's networking stack.

Feel free to argue the point in the list; currently listed as  
proposed only.

cheers,
mike
