Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

(This is more of a "Blueprint" than a bug; however, Blueprints seem to
be disabled for the ephiphany-browser package.)

One of the things I love about Epiphany is it's simplicity and speed: it
has all the essential features of a web browser, and runs much quicker
than other browsers on my system.  One feature I consider essential is
the "up" navigation.  On Firefox, the extension "uppity," as well as the
Google Toolbar, implement this feature very well.  I am pleased to see
Epiphany includes this feature natively, and I mostly satisfied with the
current behavior.  In addition to the current behavior, I propose that
the "up" navigation move up from sub-domains.  For example, if I am at
the following url:

http://debtorrent.alioth.debian.org/

When I press "up", I expect to move to the following location:

http://alioth.debian.org/

Another move "up" should place me at:

http://debian.org/

And here it stops.  Currently, I don't see a way to move "up"
subdomains.  This is the natural and expected interpretation of "up", as
many websites use sub-domains in addition to folders for their
hierarchy.

Distribution: 8.04.2 LTS
Package name: epiphany-browser
Package version: 2.22.2-0ubuntu0.8.04.5 (from `apt-cache policy 
epiphany-browser`)

P.S.  If this feature appears in 8.10 or 9.04, please let me know.
Hopefully we can get it in 8.10.3 LTS.

Cheers,
James Carroll
