> 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.

Just for the sake of knowing a bit more about WebCore guts, what is special about the "about:" protocol? What kind of tricky stuff does it?

> 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.

Ok, I'll follow that approach then. Thanks for reviewing.
