<FAQENTRY>

The second paragraph makes no sense, since "such cases" can only refer
to the cases of the previous paragraph, which are the cases in which it
CAN be done.

However, the FAQ should also be saying that Chrome does not allow such
access by a local page to other local material.  Versions before 5.0 did
allow it.
