According to the policy discussed in bug 15936, I've created a scenario
in which various browsers act differently.

Assume that the following files are located at http://aaa.bbb.com/
Note: If you want to try out this example, change the value of document.domain
accordingly in these files! It should be a suffix of the real domain in which
these files reside.
====================================
<!-- navigation.htm -->
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script language="javascript">document.domain='bbb.com';</script>
</head>
<frameset name="main" cols="503,*">
        <frame name="left" src="left.htm" />
        <frame name="right" src="right.htm" />
</frameset>
</html>
================================
<!-- left.htm -->
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <base target='right'>
</head>
<body>
    <a href='helloWorld.htm'>HelloWorld</a>
</body>
</html>
=================================
<!-- right.htm -->
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <script language="javascript">document.domain='bbb.com';</script>
</body>
</html>
=================================
<!-- helloWorld.htm -->
<html>
<body>
    <h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
=================================

Open navigation.htm, and then click the "HelloWorld" link:
IE7: will open the link in a new tab instead of the target frame.
IE6, Firefox2/3, Safari 3.0.3: will open the link in the target frame.
Current WebKit: will do nothing.

This problem affects a popular forum in China: http://dzh.mop.com
In this forum, if you click a link in the left panel, current WebKit will not
open the link. (Due to some other reasons, IE7 works fine with this site.)
