I can also put JavaScript in a DNS TXT record; the protocol does nothing to stop that!

There is no "JavaScript" in JMAP in the sense that it's supported by the protocol, and the specification explicitly warns against email clients interpreting JavaScript.

Now you are getting the idea of how to design a new network protocol in contrast to adding the supporting numbers of parsers and validators.

Potential and actual vulnerabilities explodes, like the chronic problems of Microsoft Macros.
