If I have my browser set to handle a certain media type in a
particularly way the last thing I want is a webpage changing that
default without my permission! Your situation is an MP3 but consider an
executable application/x-msdownload. I have it set (and you should too)
to download ONLY, could you see the potential problem if a webpage could
force a change in the default handling of that file type? That is why
the restriction and why there should be a clear distinction between
local and remote file systems regardless of what big Bill G. thinks...
