Nice work.

|   In this paper we describe an issue that was raised in 2001 under
|   the name of Cross-Site Request Forgeries (CSRF).

The problem you describe (If I understand correctly) was first (to my
knowledge) described in May 2000 by Jim Fulton in the Zope community.
The fenomenon was baptised "Client Side Trojans" back then.

I totally agree that this problem hasn't got the attention it
deserves, and that an enormous amount of web sites are vulnerable.
