Re: suspicious script on vim.org

Thanks for reporting. Vim treats files as binary content.
AFAIK there is no page displaying contents of the binary files.

The only thing I really fear would be people starting to write malicious
.vim code and embed that into a useful script.

Anyway that content doesn't make sense - because you can check whether
there is a chance finding out whether you can make browsers run such
code much faster: Get existing content, use google to see whether it
finds it. If it finds content you have a chance to inject JS.

Thus why did this guy/girl go through the trouble registering?
