Oh really? what about AJAX apps?. GMail? Twitter?

1. You miss the point: the Mozarella Foundation's Grand Plan includes
pushing for HTML5 apps... "web pages" -static text content- is an
endagered species, more and more web sites require JS for user
validation, log-in, dynamic content, dynamic menus, etc.

That's why also they are on a crusade against plug-ins, they want
everything to be HTML5...

2. Can you cite some examples of "getting owned via Javascript"?

Oh really? Thanks you saved my life. Now that you mention it, I prefer
to read news without images, and shop amazon.com without pictures! You
get a lot of exciting surprises that way!

I also put a blanket in front of the TV. And I plan to put a bonsai
tree in front of my netbook screen. Makes writing emails much more
exciting.
