You didn't say which html rendering plugin you were using. But, if
you allow remote content in the settings, then there's no surprise
that the test succeeded.

OTOH, the fancy plugin does let a few things through even when it
should not. GTKHTML2 Viewer doesn't let anything through. And, of
course, not using an html rendering plugin doesn't let anything
through.
