On a fresh install of FF 1.5b2 with GM 0.6.2, Greasemonkey decided to
throw some kind of error (I can't remember what it was, I'm sorry),
whenever trying to read a file off local disk. Changing to this
interface solved that little problem.

I also note that nsIIOService's newChannelFromURI does proxy
processing, which is useful if getContents is ever used to retrieve
remote documents (not likely).
