This is in response to an (eclosed below) message to the GL list I think that pop up windows should go to User Agents too, not only to authoring guidelines. What I do to avoid them is that I turn off JavaScript and Java. It would have been better if browsers could have been configured to disable/customize particular scripting functions. I suspect though that this can be put in a User agent guidelines, only after there is a DOM spec. recommendation.
