An addendum--

At the risk of being all stodgy and boring and anti-whizzy-new-tech,
I'll ask: Where's the white paper on how Zaplets are prevented from
sending malicious/scripted/privacy-invading content to be executed
by your MAPI-attached browser?

Yes, I know, they wouldn't license any truly *evil* people, but suppose
one got ahold of the technology "somehow"? Sigh.
