But unsafer in modern times, John,
as malicious code can more easily be hidden inside.

[It seems the definition of "safer" has shifted!

You would still need some interface to the DOM,
when using a browser environment.

Perhaps it looked like intermediate P-code,
but in fact being Hungarian assembler-code:

"egy, ketto, három, négy, öt, hat, hét, nyolc, kilenc, tíz"

[I learned this from my father, who again got it from his parents's 
Hungarian maid around 1918. They, those maids, were cheap at that time, 
having escaped the famine overthere.]
