Agreed on the latter.

On the former, it wouldn't be a problem for websites per se, but the 
aliasing needs to happen when a page whose origin is a globally unique 
identifier has an about:blank iframe.  Or rather, the origin of the 
iframe needs to be the _same_ globally unique identifier.  In Gecko this 
is implemented by simply using the same origin object for both.

Note that in IE the security model around about:blank is pretty weird 
last I checked, so I'd want to see some pretty exhaustive tests before 
changing Gecko behavior in web-facing about:blank.
