I support the idea of this proposal. To split browsing contexts, Window, History, and similar concepts out into a separate specification. Unfortunately this proposal is IMHO not detailed enough to produce such a split. Much less to review if the split fulfills its intended goals of producing a simpler HTML5 specification. For example, how should HTMLDocument.open() be specified given that it's a HTML specific feature, but heavily intertwined with browsing contexts? How do iframes interact with History.back()? I'd love to see someone take the original HTML5 document and produce an actual split, this way we can debate the details of that split. I'd imagine that if someone did this I would likely vote for such a change proposal. If I were Ian and the current change proposal were approved, I would have no idea what to do. / Jonas
