(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
