Details

Mac OS X (and possibly other systems, but I don't know) has a standard mechanism for indicating that the contents of a document have been edited by the user; that's the little dot that appears in the close button in the title bar of the window. There is currently no way to set that state for a XUL window. Adding an attribute that can do this would make it easier to smoothly integrate editor windows (such as those used in the style editor, source editor, and so forth) with the underlying operating system. Would also likely be handy for Thunderbird. This could be done using a Boolean "changed" or "saved" attribute.
