Antoine, you must be new here :) Arguments have no power in the land of this ticket.

This is "Mr Proskuryakov against the world" thread. After getting dozens of reasons to make a sane default or at least follow the spec, even after getting a direct endorsement by a security expert like me, that it is indeed totally fine and safe (I fail to see he has any understanding of threat modeling and web security), nothing's changed. 

Now I keep this URL in my "this is why safari sucks" collection and to give websec friends a good laugh.
