It's the fear of IE's Local Zone exploits. Pages opened form disk need to have Mark of the Web to run without warnings: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537628(VS.85).aspx Fortunately this behavior doesn't need to be specified in HTML5, as other browsers don't have such policies, and MOTW causes nothing but confusion. -- regards, Kornel
