    // The XSSAuditor class is used to prevent type 1 cross-site scripting
    // vulnerabilites (also known as reflected vulnerabilities).
    //
    // More specifically, the XSSAuditor class decides whether the execution of
    // a script is to be allowed or denied based on the content of any
    // user-submitted data, including:
    //
    // * the query string of the URL.
    // * the HTTP-POST data.
    //
    // If the source code of a script resembles any user-submitted data then it
    // is denied execution.
    //
    // When you instantiate the XSSAuditor you must specify the {@link Frame}
    // of the page that you wish to audit.
    //
    // Bindings
    //
    // An XSSAuditor is instantiated within the contructor of a
    // ScriptController object and passed the Frame the script originated. The
    // ScriptController calls back to the XSSAuditor to determine whether a
    // JavaScript script is safe to execute before executing it. The following
    // methods call into XSSAuditor:
    //
    // * ScriptController::evaluate - used to evaluate JavaScript scripts.
    // * ScriptController::createInlineEventListener - used to create JavaScript event handlers.
    // * HTMLTokenizer::scriptHandler - used to load external JavaScript scripts.
