er yes I just happened to have the drag and drop lying around, you could
have a standard file upload button that triggers the file chooser interface
(if I remember what the javascript api is for that:-) I may look later.

well at the xslt level it avoids it as there is no external file access at
all, it is taking the input from strings within the page.

as for getting the files into the page (by drag and drop or a file chooser
or whatever) that's allowed as it's done on explicit request it would be
harder (or probably impossible due to the same CORS security block) to make
the page automatically load and input the files. But I'm just bluffing,
what exactly is and isn't allowed by the browser security model is
complicated and not really my area.
