The Navigator object is used for these kind of APIs and creating inconsistency with that seems misguided. You are not starting with a blank slate here. The Web Platform has a lot of history and creating yet another fork in the little logic it has so far seems bad for authors. Everyone always thinks they can do it right this time around, but I've yet to see that happen. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
