I am not against legislation but also not optimistic about politicians being able to make a proper law.
You are correct, 'new Image' in javascript would be out. And the question is, if that really hurts. Do you want to dynamically create an image in javascript and let the decision-making happen inside the browser of an end user? Or can the 'new Image' functionality of javascript be considered bloat because the decision to put an image somewhere on the page can be made perfectly well on the web server?
And we can go on, should it be possible to do a POST from javascript code, or should a browser only allow/do a POST when a user presses a button?
