I think you mean internet based multimedia application engine creators, 
rather than browser creators, and I think they already know what areas 
would have to be blocked (although to produce a really secure program, I 
think they would have to switch to alternative code for the unsafe 
sections, as one of the problems is the sheer complexity of the code). 
However, I think they also realise that...

Website creators really do not care about security, because most of the 
unsafe areas relate to the very gimmicks they want to use to produce 
flashy sites (they may also want to work round things like anti-popup 
measures, and thus explicitly breach security features!).

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
