FileReader used to work in file: documents. But due to the tightening of security origin, it did not work any more. I would prefer a security expert, like Adam Barth, to confirm if we do want to make FileReader work in file: or unique security origin context.

If you launch Google Chrome with the command line option "--allow-file-access-from-files", you can run those blob/file regression tests from fast/files. I am not sure if Safari/WebKit has such option to set.

If we decide to support this case, I can work on a fix on this.
