Yes, I just saw this. So it's not as simple as just keeping a flag around,
because someone may have already created a timer that propagated the user
gesture context to the timer callback.

BTW, currently it looks like it's left up to the individual port to
determine whether a window is allowed to call focus/blur() outside the
context of a user gesture (there's no restriction built in to
DOMWindow::focus()).

If we're going to be changing this logic, should we also explicitly put a
check for processingUserGesture() in focus()/blur()? Or do any ports *want*
to allow this behavior to be controlled by the port? As it stands, if a
port doesn't explicitly check for processingUserGesture() in its
focusDocumentView() handler, then any window can focus itself at any time.
