Sigh. I would hope that you were not confusing my statements to mean that I don't think jQuery can be used badly (by the way, having seen jQuery used poorly is no justification for your tests) or that I don't understand the security hole presented. I want people to take responsibility for how they use tools like jQuery and I think your tests are an unfair and blatantly misleading representation of jQuery as a library.

Now, having gotten that off my chest, I'm not going to go off and disparage your framework. I want to thank you for your library and your contribution to open source, because I think that has eminent value often overlooked.

Sure, that's a fair point given that my explanation in the homepage is skimpy. I did try my best to word it in a way not to diss jQuery as a project: "if you see an alert box, ensuring security with that framework is more work for you". If you have a better idea on how to phrase this point, I'm open to suggestions.
