Hrm.  This is an interesting point, but not in the way you intended.

like postscript is that Java isn't supposed to introduce security
holes.  The above reminds me that web pages with EPS files could
be a great source of security issues unless one *does* turn on the
'Display EPS Securely' option.

I *think* that this suggests OmniWeb (and other NeXTSTEP browsers)
should display EPS securely, ignoring the setting of the option
in Preferences.app.
