I would have expected it to behave like a reference fragment navigation, which prunes *all* forward session history entries. Reason: it seems strange when a "navigation" doesn't result in a disabled forward button in the browser UI, so an app developer may be unsatisfied using pushState in place of reference fragment navigations.</div>
