(as of December 26, 2010)
| When a browsing context is navigated to a new resource, the 
| user agent must run the following steps:
...
| 9.  Abort the active document of the browsing context.
...
| 11. Prompt to unload the Document object. If the user refused 
|     to allow the document to be unloaded, then these steps 
|     must be aborted.

Might this be a bug? (It seems more consistent with other
parts of the html5 spec, and with browsers, to do the abort 
after the user has allowed the document to unload.)

Best regards
Mike Wilson
