[whatwg] Question about "certain cases" for popstate event

[Paul Kinlan]

Just wanting to ping this thread again.

I am running in to a couple of issues with spec and apparently undefined
cases:

   1. This case, when does popstate actually fire? We
   have inconsistencies in apparent implementation.
   2. We have no way to detect onpushstate events
   http://paul.kinlan.me/html5-history-needs-another-event so we can't tell
   when the URL changes.
   3. When combining pushState with AppCache, the urls that are navigated
   too via pushState are not added to the application cache groups - and I
   think they should.

I am keen to move this forward and would love to work out the best ways.
