For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: What's the use case? Or is it required for Web compat? If there's no use case and it isn't required for Web compat, I recommend asking UAs to remove it instead.
Given that WebKit, Presto and Gecko all implement it, and that Google code search reveals quite a few uses, [1] this looks like it's necessary for compatibility. [1] <http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=lang:js+window.stop+-stopurls+-stopwatch>
