I dislike magic APIs that work sometimes, but not always. In this case, the 
reason for crippling the API seems to be almost entirely about implementation 
issues - the discussion about whether it's good for improving user experience 
goes in rounds, possibly because anyone who wants to annoy users can just 
switch to beforeunload.

Perhaps I'd be less unhappy about this change if the flag were off in layout 
tests, so that we didn't have to change them all to remove alert() in unload.
