We have seen a number of attacks via e-mail that use text/html to carry

text/html versus application/html.

I propose the following straw man:

text/html be redefined such that it contains static content only.
application/html be redefined such that active content such as Javascript
be allowed.

Hum.

What if the document does not contain directly script but has a LINK
to a js file ? If it contains a link to an applet ?
And if the document is the result of a CGI ?
