Throw an exception (if Javascript has exceptions)? Cancel the
execution?

What I'd like is a way to prevent an author from creating a window
that is as large as the display. I paid good money for an extremely
large monitor, and an operating system that can handle
partially-occluding windows, so that I don't have to maximise every
single application I have open, and I don't like people maximising my
windows for me.
That said, Windows and the Mac don't offer a simple way to temporarily
reduce the screen resolution for testing purposes (without messing up
your icon layouts and the like) - I imagine that little drop-down
would be helpful in such circumstances ("And what does my layout look
like at 512x384?").
