My take still is to not allow any interactions by the script outside the 
sandbox.
This means that the language should support things like file access being 
totally forbidden. Or only to the tmp dir, in a kspread-specific dir, for 
example.  Both of which are really easy to do in Java.  I'd like to know 
what our koffice scripting language supports in that area..
