Window names existing a global namespace.  Trying to stop an iframe from
screwing around with name-targeted navigation would be tricky.

We should match Firefox as closely has possible here.  Name targeted
navigations are really fragile.  We should test the priorities between the
following three names for a frame:

1) The iframe's "name" attribute.
2) Assigning to "window.name".
3) Declaring a global "name" variable.
4) Declaring a global "name" function.

We should also test both the same-origin and the cross-origin scenario.

My guess is that the bug is that we're making "var name" assign to window.name
instead of shadowing the DOM property with the JavaScript variable.
