I don't think it's dangerous, either; I do think it could make for a
potential URL spoof, though. After all... clicking a link to
help://[something] looks innocent, no?

The same 'bug' applies to all other IE browsers below 6.0 (Win98SE and
Win2K). Doesn't look like anything dangerous to me though...
