The problem that the Jmol extension worked with

This has just been announced on the jmol e-mail list. I was the one who
raised the issue of jmol on wikipedia in response to the post on the
commons list and I also discussed it with Tim Starling a couple of years
ago. The only security concerns are the ones that Tim raised then. The
extension has been modified since then but I do not know whether there
are still security concerns. I am not competent to judge. Please e-mail
me if you want links to examples of the extension running.

That users can embed javascript is not acceptable to run it on Wikipedia.
Other parameters, like urlContents or signed wouldn't be used but at
least they can be disabled.
I am afraid this is all beyond my expertise. Are you saying that there
is no way Jmol can ever be used on WMF projects?
