I spoke with Hixie about aborting navigations in HTML e.g. to prevent navigation to file:// URLs. He pointed out that step 10 of the "navigate" algorithm [1] give the UA freedom to ignore navigations pretty much at will. Therefore I think that it's fine to add text to the security section in the webdriver spec indicating that the UA might (or "should", or whatever the conclusion about that was) consider file an unsupported protocol when using webdriver. I think this concludes the action [2] [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/history.html#navigate [2] http://www.w3.org/2014/07/08-testing-minutes.html#action01
