I am quite fearful in this regard:

  Lots of existing code rely on the fact that trusted code
  can do anything without to worry about security.

  As security proxies restrict trusted code, too (though trusted
  code can remove the wrapper), we might get more security
  at the cost of massive backward incompatibility.
