I agree with you in this point but I would like to mention that this
"feature" (reading from file:// uri) has to be enabled because it is
not enabled by default[1] and this is because it was marked as a
security issue[2].

** Message: console message:  @0: Not allowed to load local resource:

What do you think? Should I go for the file:// approach anyway?
