As we were discussing, window onload handlers should return a value: if true, 
the window is closed automatically; if false it isn't (I think I got that 
right). Several onclose handlers in Mozilla are returning unspecified values, 
and several are closing the window themselves (which is guarded against, so it 
doesn't hurt, but it is unnecessary and not -- strictly speaking -- correct.)

I'll attach a patch that I was working on recently when I thought I was going to 
have to fix this. I'm not saying it's all correct, but it addresses all the 
problems I could find. Maybe you want to be the first owner, and hand it along, 
or maybe, heck, you just want to hand this bug back to me.
Dan, may I ask what this helps? Does it fix anything in particular, or is it
just stupid me? :)

Sadly, I cannot provide any additional insight here, because I'm not the "Dan M" in question -- that's Dan Matejka.
