Yep, looks like a spec bug to me.
Comment 2 Ms2ger 2011-06-24 18:31:14 UTC 
That entire parameter is spec bug 12735.
Comment 3 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:35:44 UTC 
mass-move component to LC1
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-31 23:54:04 UTC 
The way IE implements it is as specced, IIRC.
Comment 5 Ms2ger 2011-09-03 09:12:40 UTC 
The spec has different types for the parameter on window.open and document.open, so I'd be surprised if IE implemented that.

*** Bug 14079 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 7 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-09-21 23:08:28 UTC 
Ok well _that_ is clearly a mistake.

I need to test this on IE.
Comment 8 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-09-29 00:27:30 UTC 
It's a boolean, you're right. I was confusing it with the second argument of the two-argument document.open() call, which it seems is indeed a string (and is also called "replace").
