Old text for 7.4.2: has some problems in my mind, namely around executing plugins. I propose the following changes: old: Web user agents MUST NOT expose programming interfaces which permit installation of software, or execution of privileged code without a user intervention. new: Web user agents MUST NOT expose programming interfaces which permit installation of software, or execution of privileged code not previously installed and registered with the user agent without a user intervention. rationale: Someone could consider Acrobat Reader privileged code (it can do all sorts of stuff), but clearly we don't want to prompt every time a user navigates to a PDF. I'm sure that at the face-to-face I had some other issues with this, but too much time has passed and after re-reading the spec they aren't surfacing. So I will live with the rest of the text.
