executing some AppleScript (security risk!).
Help Viewer only executes AppleScripts stored on your local hard
drive, so I don't think it's much (or any?) of a security risk.
Feeling secure is the greatest security risk you could think of.
Part of the decision to not yet implement execution of remote
AppleScripts in Help Viewer was in consideration of the security
issues involved.
Help Viewer doesn't display any remote HTML file, so this is definitely
not a problem.
Actually, yes, it does. It doesn't do it in the way that a web browser
does (i.e. allow you to type in a url to retrieve), but it does download
files from the http servers, if the content authors set up their content
that way.
