[Bug 10625] Spec should cover stopping parsing on location.href = "foo"

It seems meta refresh waits for the document to have loaded before taking
effect, so I'll ignore that in further tests:

I can't get IE to run scripts at all until the whole document is downloaded and
can be all parsed at once, which makes testing exactly what happens rather
awkward:

When it comes to the other browsers, it seems WebKit doesn't fire 'unload', but
Gecko does, when an inline script just invokes the navigation algorithm; WebKit
also seems to do it as a task so the parser doesn't abort until after it has
run whatever is in its buffer (e.g. a script immediately following):
