I've now fixed the spec to match IE's behaviour when it comes to 
history.go(), history.length, and history.back().

This doesn't quite match what Gecko, Webkit, or Opera do, but then they 
all each do their own slightly different thing, so I had to pick one, and 
IE seemed like the obvious choice.

I have some tests here:
