Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wax lets me directly call ANY of the 
Objective C APIs from Lua without wrapping them (incredibly cool, of 
course).  That means I can have the iPhone Wax shell application and all 
API calls are made by the included scripts.  If those scripts can be 
modified after ship (downloads, other means), then hackers could 
completely replace an iPhone Wax application's contents with their own.

This is why I have a hard time believing Apple would accept any new 
iPhone Wax application under the new 3.3.# clauses.
