[Bug 11105] New: Prevent execution of scripts in documents that don't have a browsing context after 'already started' has been set

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11105

           Summary: Prevent execution of scripts in documents that don't
                    have a browsing context after 'already started' has
                    been set
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson)
        AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch
        ReportedBy: hsivonen@iki.fi

In http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#running-a-script before
the step "If scripting is disabled for the script element, then the user agent
must abort these steps at this point. The script is not executed.", please add
a step:
"If the Document the element is in is not the active document of a browsing
context, then the user agent must abort these steps at this point. The script
is not executed."

Please also add a note saying that this means scripts in XHR responseXML,
scripts in DOMParser-created documents, scripts in documents created by
XSLTProcessor::transformToDocument and scripts that are first inserted by a
script into a document that has been created with
document.implementation.createDocument.

Note that what's being proposed here is 2 vs. 1 majority behavior for
responseXML, DOMParser and XSLTProcessor::transformToDocument but 1 vs. 2
minority behavior for document.implementation.createDocument. (In the set
Gecko, Presto, WebKit that is.)
