Trust issues wouldn't be that tricky, I don't think, at least from our
point of view. Admins could already do some fairly nasty stuff
privacy-wise via Javascript, right? Trackers and so on. Hell, they
could probably take over the computers of 10% of our viewers, who are
doubtless using some atrociously vulnerable version of IE from about
three years ago. Anyone trustworthy enough to send the client
arbitrary Javascript is probably trustworthy enough to send the client
arbitrary Java.

Hey, Javascript is Turing-complete and has full access to the
browser's I/O. What *can't* you do with it? :P
