The original idea was that a trusted language does not allow an 
unprivileged user to gain access to any object or data, he does not have 
access to without that language.

This does not include data transformation functionality, like string 
processing or the like. As long as the user had legitimate access to the 
input datum, then every derived form thereof is OK.
