Comment (by gk):

 We only need to allow the about: scheme for this bug, right? If so, this
 is fine to me. Generally, I am very hesitant to water down our "High
 Security" mode. We know that things are breaking in this mode and users
 ought to do the same. I don't feel the usability in this mode is so bad at
 the moment that we should jump off the cliff allowing chrome: and
 resource: (too) and see what happens.
