I dont get this. Microsoft encourage developers to write what they call Windows 8 JavaScript apps but then treats normal JavaScript actions (like creating or manipulating HTML5 elements) as toxic.

I suppose this is again part of the legacy of that dreadful decision back in the 90's to embed the MS web browser into the operating system. They cant just "sand-box" the execution like any other app.

I suspect I will avoid this even if tempted into any other sort of W8 development.
