And hence should be banned or tightly controlled locations where it can be read? OR is it a completely other kind of animal, as "safe".. at least as safe as anything coming thru the system sent by people you may, or not, know. I only remember Marc Andreeson ( sp?) Talking a lot about it during the time Netscape was the scarey company in the wood work for MS. I never got into the nuts and bolts of it... so I don't know anything about it except it looks pretty.. but so can HTML properly done. And improperly done HTML can bring a system down.. if the attacker knows enough to circumvent rules that prevent it from being displayed... I would greatly appreciate anyone who feels they have the time to explain this to me. Pros and cons are both welcome.
