I should note that while Gecko has a preference that allows this, actually _using_ it breaks a number of sites, including a number of reasonably legitimate use cases. There's no way it can become the default setting given the state of the web, in my opinion. So I'm not sure what the point is of "encouraging" UAs to do something that they just can't do while staying reasonably compatible with the web. -Boris
