Hmm, fair. I just looked up the history of this code in Gecko, and the
best I can give you is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48202#c6 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48202#c30
So it's possible that the original behavior was just an oversight that
then got copied. Someone with access to a browser version control
system from before 1998 would need to look to make sure...
