yeah there was a nice security issue on this one, allowing you to read other
peoples cookies. something along the lines of
about:www.yahoo.com<script>alert(document.cookies)</script>
would fool IE into thinking that the result was a document on the yahoo.com
domain and therefore safe to read/write yahoos cookies.

Hi Bryan
You can do something like that in IE.
Try:
about:<html code>
try writing this in a html page :)
Link: <a href="about:<p><b>Teste</b></p>" target=_new>Click
here</a>.<br>
Link: <a href="about:<b>hello</b><br/><p
onclick=javascript:window.open('http://www.xml.com')>hello</p>"
target=_new>Click here</a>.<br>
Link: <a
href="about:<script>location.href='http://www.xml.com';</script>"
target=_new>Click here</a>

data:text/html,<b>hello</b>
into netscape's location bar)
why do I think this is a security problem? Hmm
data:text/html,<b>hello</b><br/><p
onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.xml.com')">hello</p>
anyway it's interesting that it wasn't done as an app, asynchronous
pluggable protocol, if it were then one could launch mozilla from within
IE by calling the protocol, on the other hand as it wasn't this opens
the way up for an ie implementation. In fact it wouldn't be difficult at
all, of course as ie has enough security bugs...
