If you want an instant demo of this, open Internet Explorer, go to some

open to that URL. (Dragging the "@" next to the address bar products a
different file type, which is also mangled by Cocoa, so take your
pick.)
Now open a TextEdit Rich Text document, and drag the .webloc file to
the
document. TextEdit will happily accept the drag, and show the icon --

it has in the process stripped all the contents out of the file,
because IE
puts the URL in a resource in the resource fork.
Yeah, yeah. They shouldn't be doing that.
Are you certain that a .webloc file has a resource fork? I just dragged
one to my desktop, and it doesn't.
