I think Thomas is saying that I'm not "some random guy".

I think highly of you, but my irritation here has more to do with being shouted down about getting crazy third party JS services off banking applications than it does with who runs this particular static iframe.
I think this issue is LITERALLY this simple: people are accustomed to third-party applications that work by "just copy this tiny snippet of JS code into your layout template", and all the cool kids do it, so it's not up for discussion. But static content hosting a form in an iframe? THAT'S CRAZY TALK.

Agreed, people are far too casual about dropping random javascript into their web sites. (I tried to make this point last year when I blogged about how Iran should have forged an SSL certificate for ssl.google-analytics.com instead of *.google.com, but that blog post didn't get much attention sadly.)

Great article! (The URL is http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2011-09-01-Iran-forged-the-w... in case anyone wonders.)
It surely gives food for thought.
