Hello,
is it possible to implement the command ":execute" of Pentadactyl for
vimb? It takes its argument and evaluates it as javascript, and
thereupon it executes the result, if a string, as an ex-command. This
allows e.g. for an easy way (when compared to the socket feature) to
save data calculated from a website to disk. On the other hand,
it could cause severe safety problems if not handled carefully.

At the moment I see only already mentioned security issues, because this
would allow the viewed page do get data into vimb ex commands and that
are the most powerful way of managing vimb and the system (think of the
:sh command).
