[whatwg] navigation shouldn't abort if canceled

[Mike Wilson]

No comments so far on this issue so I'll describe it a bit more.
Consequences of the current text are that resource fetches are
canceled for a document when navigating away from it, even if
the user then chooses to cancel the navigation at a 
"beforeunload" prompt and returns to the document.

Best regards
