The working draft is unclear on the following question: if 
window.location.replace() is invoked, should a "load" event fire when 
the new content arrives?  A quick test 
(http://people.csail.mit.edu/karger/Scrapelet/Dev/testload.html) 
demonstrates that current browsers do *not* fire a load event for the 
replaced content.  If that is correct, then how are we supposed to 
detect that the replaced content has finished loading?
