No untrusted content from the net should ever be
blindly executed, of course.  IE is good that way --
it always asks me whether I want to execute, save,
or throw away any document it gets (unless I have
instructed it to trust a certain source/certificate/
etc, of course).  One bug (IMHO) in IE is in not
using the MIME content type but rather giving
priority to the "file association" to the "extension"
in the filename associated with the content.  There
should be more control about that -- one would most
often want to turn it off except perhaps when visiting
sites with known bugs about their mime type settings.
Opera 5 seems to have that ability.

Whether the content comes via IFRAME, OBJECT, FRAME
or however else is obviously irrelevant to this.
