Fair enough. You missed a few I think are important. However, I think
the script language should double as a macro facility for the users,
which adds a number of things:
o scripts can manipulate the GUI directly (open/close/resize/move
windows & dialog boxes)
o scripts are associated can be associated with a specific
window in a multiwindowed browser.
o scripts can feed HTML to the Browser for display.
o scripts can change the browsers preferences settings.
And you've got one odd one here:
> o scripts can't send messages
Why not? That's the most useful thing about the scripting extensions
I use in Mosaic. Turning this off for "unsafe" scripts is probably a
good idea, but that's no reason to leave it off for everyone.
