I realize that security is an arms race, but JavaScript etc. is supposed 
to be sandboxed so user interaction would be required to just read 
random stuff.

What I'm talking about is not what web pages should be able to do, but 
what I should be able to do with File/Open in the menu.

And I would also very much not appreciate if Vim suddenly not allowed me 
to open random text files.
