    I'm currently in the process of developing a CSS Scripting Kit called "CSK", this kit will allow you to perform scripting actions that normally would be reserved for Javascript. I believe the standards that browser manufacturers are adopting create major security holes and if they don't either create new security policies to adapt to this or remove the features altogether we are going to have a major problem in future.

    I hope creating this kit will demonstrate to them that they need to take their security policies seriously and hopefully show them that even simple features can be used to create security holes. Stay tuned to this blog for future updates of CSK and I shall be releasing my research soon.
