Web security issues make it increasingly difficult to create a "web 
application" that ISNT a web application. Ie with local files. And even 
harder to mix web content with non-web content. I investigated this very 
thoroughly when looking at a means to provide an OS-neutral browser to a 
1TB datapack. It is extremely difficult and just not possible with 
Chrome. Oddly enough, using a web server works much better when doing a 
web application! However, on a web server, KML becomes a poor choice and 
JS doesnt have the grunt to handle big datafiles.
