I've also discussed this with Darin and John (although not Peter directly).

1) I think we should give web developers a bigger carrot to avoid an arms race
here.  In particular, we should consider completing network requests started
from unload handlers, removing the incentive to use a busy-loop.

2) I continue to think that WebCore is the wrong layer at which to make a
change that manipulates the Date API.  The reasons to prefer making the change
here appear more political than technical.
