What's the rationale for this change? Is this some sort of popup blocking, or something else?

In http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/118916, I added a restriction to window.focus() that disallows a window to focus itself. Apparently, some popunder scripts are using this workaround to get around the window.focus() restriction.
