We could hopefully remove the checks after some 1.9.1 baking time.

Olli, this has been baking for a while now :). Can we remove those checks, or close this bug if they're truly needed.

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

I don't think we should remove those even now. Only once we have removed the need for
"script handling objects" or removed possibility to create XHR/DOMParser using createInstance...

In that case, does this security bug serve us any purpose at all? Can we close this out and file a public followup to clean that up once we can, or open this bug up?
