Comment:
Step 25 - we (Opera) would prefer to follow WebKit and not add a new history
position when doing document.open. The utility of this to users is
questionable since many cases where it is used the content of the document
before document.open is not useful (e.g. it is a blank document) and other DOM
operations can be just as destructive, but not create new history positions.
In addition, any page that does document.open onload can leave the user in a
situation where it is hard to navigate back past a given point in history
because every time they load that page, an extra position is created.
