Interesting suggestion. It could be shaped like this:

This attribute in every block element:

<!ATTLIST ...
trust    (trusted|marginal|untrusted)    trusted
 >

trusted:
	noop
untrusted:
	scripting elements will be ignored
marginal:
	Well.. this is harder... It would work like this (taking JavaScript as 
an example). It would replace the "window" global object with another 
window object with restricted functionality. window.document would have 
access only to the document fragment inside the area.

All of this would be part of the "scripting" module...
