I haven't studied the code in enough detail yet to have many
specifics, but here as some examples:

A) Scheduled redirections.  There's a bunch of state associated with
these that seems separable from the concerns of actually performing
the loads.

B) Methods involving PolicyAction.  Interacting with the
FrameLoadClient seems like a separable issue from advancing the main
state machine.

C) Form submission.  There seem to be a bunch of special cases having
to do with loading form submissions.  I haven't looked in detail, but
this also seems like it should be a client of the core machine.

As we get into the details, I'm sure we'll find some obvious wins.
