Speaking of simplicity, actually I think once the folder policy is done and accepted, we could remove one of these settings or maybe both.

        void setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(bool);
        bool allowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs() const { return m_allowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs; }

        void setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(bool);
        bool allowFileAccessFromFileURLs() const { return m_allowFileAccessFromFileURLs; }
