Only this section talks about "disown its opener" in a self-referential way.
No other section uses this concept. E.g. rel=noreferrer simply ends up not
creating an auxiliary browsing context.

I don't understand the bug here.
Comment 2 Anne 2015-01-07 08:46:07 UTC 
It's unclear to me why "disown its opener" exists if it's not used elsewhere.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2015-01-08 18:45:55 UTC 
It's used right there in the very same paragraph?
Comment 4 Anne 2015-01-09 06:28:40 UTC 
Sorry :-(
