I am sure I am not the only one who would be grateful, Mark, if you could expand on those security reasons. After all, on my desktop browser, I can refer to local files all the time, so I would think that I should be able to do similarly on the phone, with the caveat that I should be able to access only files I have placed there, e.g., no files requiring root or system privileges. But why shouldn't I be able to access a PDF file I put on my SD card, for example? Where is the security risk in that?
