I agree that the execution model of JavaScript in the context of web scripting, especially in regards of security, could be better. On the other hand, I think that a too complex or restrictive model would alienate non-programmers such as web designers who don't understand (or don't want to understand) such abstract concepts.

Don't you think that something that prevented people from unintentionally introducing XSS vulnerabilities into their code would actually be easier? Building broken software is always easy, so shouldn't we be focusing on making it easier to build software that isn't broken?
