SVGDocument.URL read-only?

I (and others) need a standardized, script-exposed mechanism for saying 
to the UA "I'm done with this page, please move to a new one."

(The equivalent of location.href='foo.html' in a web browser dealing 
with HTML)

Technically this ought to be possible by creating a click Event and 
firing it for an <a> embedded on the page, but this is not only really 
ugly feeling, but also unavailable in ASV at the moment, right?


I was going to suggest simply making SVGDocument.URL be not read-only; 
setting it to a new value would navigate the UA to that url. However, 
this only allows for GET navigation.

What do people think about an additional boolean parameter to getURL 
and postURL which instructs the UA to navigate to the url, using GET or 
POST as needed, instead of returning the results to the script?


(Consider the case where I have an SVG file which is used as an admin 
component. Once the user presses the 'save' button, I would rather POST 
the data back to the server, and use its results, since it's 
DB-modifying data. I want to be able to post data, without specifying a 
dummy form and having to create hidden inputs to fill.)
