Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-10-08 20:11:30 UTC 
That was added somewhere between r1000 and r2000.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-10-08 21:20:11 UTC 
Make that r861. No explanation in the log comment as to why this excludes iframes or window.open() windows...
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-12-30 04:32:35 UTC 
It's the name clearing that has to be top-level only. Iframes don't clear their names automatically.
Comment 4 contributor 2012-12-30 04:33:34 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7613.
Check-in comment: Seems iframes' names must also be remebered across session history traversals.
