US Government Security Suggest "No AJAX"

Wallace pointed today to a an article on CNET news titled The feds weigh in on Windows security talking about the US Government suggestion setups for Windows XP and Windows Vista, a configuration that will prohibit AJAX application ! If we know that the U.S. government is spending $65 billion yearly on IT purchasing this going to be annoying for the AJAX industry to fit with such conditions, since JavaScript is considered as "Active Content" in a NIST paper [PDF] :

Configure systems, particularly in specialized security-limited functionality environments, so that the default file associations prevent automatic execution of active content files (e.g., Java, JavaScript, ActiveX).

To work with "highest security" I seriously recommend using "papers" instead of computers, and you can see the results.
