It might be a better idea to extend PseudoTTY with a 
#command:arguments:environment: call that would more closely resemble 
the execve() system call. One might want to use PPTYP w/o OSPP.
 
By the way: OSPP includes a security check so it is not doing harm in a 
browser plugin context. Is there something similar in PPTYP? Should there 
be?
