security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy has no effect (FF3)

Hi all

Setting security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy to false in Firefox 3.0  
seems to have no effect when transforming local xsl files with  
include/import directives linking to ancestor directories (e.g.  
import href="../foo/bar.xsl"). Those transforms are broken in FF3.

Is this a known issue or is there a workaround to make arbitrary  
local xslt file hierarchies work in FF3?

Note: I used to create a nsIDOMXMLDocument instance for the main xslt  
in FF2 but changed that to XmlHttpRequest due to security  
restrictions in FF3 that prevent loading fileUris from chrome. Is  
this really the only way to load a local xslt's from chrome now or do  
I miss the point with regards to the FF3 changes?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Best regards
Thomas

System: Mac OSX 10.4, FF 3.0
