Just like mutation events, synchronous javascript execution during parsing leads to badness. We should get rid of this whole class of bugs by making javascript: urls load asynchronously. Ideally *all* loads should load asynchronously (to avoid crazy reentrancy), but hyatt has historically warned that would regress the PLT. 275205 1 ap 2010-09-07 12:18:30 -0700 What do other browsers do?
