JS / DOM has worked this out quite well, and the implementations
provide a security model.

It would be fantastic to be able to use Emacs directly inside text
areas of Firefox. There's a simple plugin that lets users edit text
from text boxes in an external text editor, but that's nowhere nearly
as nice as having a little Emacs window displayed right in place of
the text box.
