Minimizing Complexity In User Interfaces

You and 'toadpipe' are probably correct. I'll argue the point anyway, to see if it could be made to work:

Consider that the scripts would run on the web server. That means they would be published and used by other users... (After a bit of analysis, so they don't do anything destructive.)

And charge money from users that really want their scripts to be private.

Just make certain that there is a script language defined for the web app framework -- and an extensible object model for the local web site's data. (Again, Applescript. But not that syntax!)

Then the question should be:

Why?

I thought that was obvious from the starting point. Lacking features is a problem for large subsets of users.

This would be a way to add functionality (and possibly to integrate with other services, so you e.g. could do "legal" XSS.)
