Presumably this should happen after the step in the navigation algorithm 
where it is established that we are going to another document (i.e. not 
just for #fragment navigations). Should it happen before or after 
onbeforeunload and onunload? Should it just happen when the session 
history is updated (i.e. when the page load changes the rendering), or at 
some other point?
