Why are you proposing a new standard when you are still thinking about security?

Thoroughly solving the security problems will require more eyes on it than just ours. Which is why we're proposing a starting point for a standard, and a process to work on it, not an endpoint.

Thoroughly solving security problems would of course take time. But the parent comment asked a very high level question: How does the security of this new proposal compare to a client-server model such as that of OpenGL? One can simulate one model over another, but in that case, performance can suffer due to overheads. This sort of thing needs to be addressed at the outset, because graphics needs performance and the web needs security; neither can be compromised upon.
