Back in April 2006, I noted this wrong, incorrect behavior of Safari 2.02
(416.13). I forgot to file a bug on this.

Description:
------------
height and innerHeight should equate to the same measurement. Right now, in
Safari 2.02 (416.3), height and outerHeight equate, correspond to the same
measurement: that's wrong.

width and innerWidth should equate to the same measurement. Right now, in
Safari 2.02 (416.3), width and outer Width equate, correspond to the same
measurement: that's wrong.

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
1- Load provided URL
2- With the form, define a height for a sub-window and then, in the sub-window,
compare/verify that the outerHeight is equal to the height value which is wrong

Actual results:
---------------
height and outerHeight are the same value. height and innerHeight are not the
same value.

Expected results:
-----------------
height value and innerHeight value should be the same in a sub-window.
outerHeight should always be different (and greater than) from height value.

More documentation on this precise issue:

secondary window in pixels. The height value includes the height of the
horizontal scrollbar if present."

Backwards compatibility:
    * open(height,width) equates to the new open(innerHeight,innerWidth)
(...)
Note: innerHeight and innerWidth options replace the height and width options,
but they remain for backwards compatibility."
