I should note that while Gecko has a preference that allows this, actually 
_using_ it breaks a number of sites, including a number of reasonably legitimate 
use cases.  There's no way it can become the default setting given the state of 
the web, in my opinion.

So I'm not sure what the point is of "encouraging" UAs to do something that they 
just can't do while staying reasonably compatible with the web.
