i am trying to track the deeper cause here (the fact that all of the
web browsers use a predictable PRNG), rather than the symptom (this
particular exploit in javascript/forms). 

i would prefer to keep these bugs open and tracked at a low level until
this core problem is addressed.  since you are triaging the symptom,
may i request that you open new bugs specifically for that problem
itself rather than overriding my submissions?  thanks for understanding.
