------- Additional Comments from Adam Barth <abarth at webkit.org>
This isn't really a good idea.	That about scheme is super magical.  Putting
non-empty documents in the about scheme doesn't really work.

The about:blah URLs in Chrome are handled by the embedder.  Typically, they're
either translated to a data URL for WebKit or to another internal URL in the
"chrome" scheme.
