The spec says "TODO: Define behavior for show UI." in a comment.

In Blink, the showUI argument does nothing, but there are two fixes:

In executeCreateLink:
// FIXME: If userInterface is true, we should display a dialog box to let the
user enter a URL.

In executeInsertImage:
// FIXME: If userInterface is true, we should display a dialog box and let the
user choose a local image.

Since not implementing these seems Web compatible, I suggest making showUI
explicitly do nothing, required merely for legacy compat.
