RE: making page visibility a property of document instead of top level browsing context

Again, I don't think we should make that particular change, so it's probably not necessary to get that data. I do think we should focus on trying to solve Element Visibility. I'll make sure we include it on the agenda for this week's conference call discussion. It'd be great if you could join us!

In other words, you think the compatibility impact is small.  That's a fine thing to think, especially if you have data to back it up.  We need such data here.
