Yes. It will depend on the timing function as to when the switch from block to none occurs.

Yes. Authors will have to realise that this may not perform very well.

Yes, it is odd. That's why I'm waiting for other implementors to disagree :)

If that's not the case then I'll fix it. If WebKit doesn't implement this then it's a bug too.
