This sounds rather risky to me, a security nightmare actually.  Unless
you had a bunch of proxy objects that could act as security brokers, I
wouldn't want page javascript interacting at all with Epiphany's
internal gobjects.

I certainly hope that python isn't permanently displaced by seed.  As
extension languages go, Python is really nice.  Javascript is flexible
and powerful, but its syntax grates on me.
