It's using an xwidget, which is basically a wrapper over a Webkit
window, which will, indeed, run any Javascript that's present in the URL
presented to it.

But I'm not suggesting that eww should support stuff like that in
general.  It's just a test case to see how xwidget works (or not).  I
think the only support for videos in eww will be for the HTML5 <video>
element (via xwidget), which isn't very Javascripty, if I understand
things correctly.
