Pressing the back button is "traversing the session history."

And whether or not that means moving to the previous fragment scroll for the current document, *only* popping a previously pushed state, or navigating to a completely different document... there is always a popstate event.

> I guess, my exception is that anytime you reload a document, it should have its own session history.

This is false.  Reloading the current document replaces the current item in the session history, but doesn't affect anything else.

I ask again - What happens in other browsers?
