I think that this is a very slippery slope to walk head down. 
Development could be caught in a quagmire for a long time trying to 
track down every single avenue that Freenet *content* could screw your 
anonymity. At some point you have to stop the hand-holding and realize 
that people who are doing things that require such absolute anonymity 
will be conscious enough to not use media players with such automagic 
features. The anonymity filter is great and all but the real focus 
should be on making Freenet, as a information transport mechanism, 
bullet-proof. fproxy (including the anonymity filter) is just one info 
retrieval client out of many and should be thought of as a separate 
project, IMO.
