I never said they were designed right either. Java was the closest by
design, but the implentation is just as bad.

Agreed, though i do have a problem with enumerating the hardware (CDRom
drive) like it does too and exposing that...

   Nope.  The same applies to a Netscape plugin or a locally installed Java
class.  All have full access and need to enforce any restrictions they
want. You can make a good argument for whether or not Eject should be
restricted for untrusted clients as that is the issue here not how Eject us
implemented.

That's what it was, and it's still a problem because of the way they
designed it in the first place --you can't make a silk purse out of a sows
ear...
