@jtb the situation of the web isn't in a good place to begin with (see your own experience with icecat). WEI has the potential to worsen the state substantially.

It makes a difference whether your browser is offered some JavaScript code that it then runs or doesn't, potentially leading to malfunctioning websites OR whether a website can enforce you to run such code or use a certain browser, OS, etc.

I can hardly understand how one does not see the adverse potential in WEI when they know full well the issues around the current state of the web already with proprietary JS, DRM and poor webdev practices. Without WEI, we are still in a bad state of course, but that does not mean that we can go in the other direction now.
