(and in fact Mozilla But W3C DOM document.write requires an explicit open and close. There is nothing in the spec that I've seen that suggests that these operations are performed implicitly around the loading of the current page. Also load time document.writes would be working on an only partially built parse tree; that seems inconsistent with idea of a DOM based on a complete tree (although XML languages don't require lookahead and HTML might not do so, so the generated content may not require the construction of the parse tree to be backtracked).
