True, but then you'd have all the requisite security considerations
of running a webserver.
As Remko points out, webservers have a long and fruitful history of
excting bugs like malformed UTF-8, path processing, and countless
other joyous things.
I'm not sure you'd want this availale in every client, nor available
to all-comers.
