I just suggested to Botond offline that we should take this to dev-platform. I am not sure a lot of our layout people are on dev-b2g.
I do think we should expose this (or something like it) to content. This behavior makes sense for app UIs as well (I am not sure this is the right API, but the general problem is more generic than just Fennec UI in HTML5).
