"Never run arbitrary code" + "pretty good sandboxes"?

Maybe they do /now/.  Do we have to review the history?
How sure are you that the sandboxing works when you 
directly invoke the browser and feed it a local HTML file 
on the command line?

By all means, help make Emacs better.  
Give it digital certificate technology and a sandbox, if you like.
