People seem to be forgetting that javascript can break a lot of accessibility readers. Everything about HTML, CSS, etc., was about separating content from layout. Javascript shits on that entire model, as does Java, ActiveX, and most other plugins.

That's because it was a shit model. Clear, yes, simple yes, all that useful for doing stuff, not so much.

You seem to forget that HTML, CSS, etc is for webpages, not applications.

If you don't like what HTML, CSS, etc model and want your stuff to behave like an application... then write a fucking application instead! ... and get the hell off my lawn, too.

what they can do is sign another piece of secret claiming to belong to you, which is highly visible and obvious.

How so? If you trust them (why bother having them sign if not?) then you would trust the replacement.

Unless you check the KSN or fingerprint every time you establish a connection to be sure it hasn't changed?

Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy.

It does cost to implement, but building in redundancy or even just failover controls shoves that failure rate way down.

I'll point out the FADECs in the F16 - there are two of them and they normally run in parallel. However, if one fails the other can fly the plane safely, just with reduced performance characteristics. That's in a tiny jet - you have plenty of space on the kind of platforms we are thinking about.
