Sure, but that's different to the requirement here. What this is actually saying is the user agent MUST: 

1. create a browsing context. 
2. set it to "about:blank".
3. immediately try to load the start url AND trash the history, so there is no record of "about:blank".

What happens after that is whatever HTML5 allows.
