I don't know much about JavaScript at the moment, honestly. It sounds like you
are saying that current insecurities in JavaScript are in its interface to
the rest of the world. If so, a more secure implementation of the language
itself might help (depend on what "more secure implementation" really means,
exactly).

Another potential benefit is that the W3C is, as I understand it, currently
looking for implementation feedback on the proposed specification. So the
time seems ripe to think about an HTML 5 implementation.
