Web security

More and more applications run on the client side. But you can't really trust browser security: it's quite difficult to proctect against XSS.
Now this is over. The W3C is about to release a spec called Content Security Plolicy which allow you  to specify the minimum set of privileges to make yor content (or application) work. Read this great article from Mike about CSP.

PS CSS just protects you against reflected XSS. You still have to encode your content for stored XSS
