Should "Empty the Document's Window's list of active timeouts and its list of
active intervals." actually happen if the document is to be salvaged?

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-02-14 03:27:46 UTC 
Make sure that when discarding the document, the timeouts _do_ get disabled.

Maybe the way to do this is to have this step be the last in the cleanup steps, and for it to _check_ salvageable first and only do it if it's false (and for the discard-a-document algorithm to set salvageable explicitly to false).

Comment 3 contributor 2010-02-18 02:02:10 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r4770.
Check-in comment: Make timeouts and intervals survive a history traversal that unloads the document, but only if the document isn't actually disacarded.
