Review result: Ready I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. This INFORMATIONAL document is intended to replace RFC 4329 (also INFORMATIONAL), updated to reflect current practice. The biggest change appears to be recommending that javascript, when embedded in html, should use the tag “text/javascript” rather than “application/javascript” while acknowledging that the two should be considered to be synonyms (along with text/ecmascript, text/javascript1.0, text/javascript1.1, text/javascript1.2, text/javascript1.3, text/javascript1.4, text/javascript1.5, text/jscript, text/livescript, text/x-javascript, text/x-ecmascript, application/x-javascript, application/x-ecmascript, and application/ecmascript). Security considerations notes that embedding javascript in html is dangerous and implementers should take care to see nothing bad happens.
