Comment 1 contributor 2012-07-18 16:20:25 UTC 
This bug was cloned to create bug 18067 as part of operation convergence.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-07-27 03:18:58 UTC 
Yeah, that's probably reasonable.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-07-27 03:19:16 UTC 
(Maybe an exception for browsers that implement it natively.)
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-09-06 15:49:05 UTC 
Upon further consideration, this seems (theoretically) risky for more reasons than cookie theft (the attack I had in mind in comment 3), so I've decided not to do it.
