When there is a window of the same name that already exists for a window.open, 
we should not reload that chrome, but rather should just bring that window to 
the foreground and execute a js OnReload or something like that.

  I don't quite remember what this bug refers to. I gather we're talking about JS 
like open("chrome://thing","name","chrome") executing with a window already open 
with that name. And thinking that it should not reload the chrome URL; just the 
content. That would be nice and more like Navigator, but requires treating chrome 
content differently from non-chrome content. It would probably also require 
special hooks in everyone's chrome, allowing it to be reverted to a pristine 
state, ready for new content.
  I'm thinking this will cause lots of problems, and wanting to not do it.
