Currently WebKit can either be configured to allow file-based pages to
access all file system (as Safari does), or block file-to-file access (as
Google Chrome does). The former doesn't have any security check, and leaves
potential security issues. The latter is too restrict and breaks many
offline utilities.

Assume that user has downloaded a full set of web pages to local file
system, he is supposed to be able to browser the page offline with very
little impact. And he shouldn't have to take the risk of having local private data leaked. I really think this new policy will be very helpful.
