Thanks Devin, I was going to reply to make the same point. In practice, I think all of the alert()'s in the core could actually be replaced; I don't think any of them rely on the synchronous behaviour.
It's the confirm()s and prompt()s that are the difficulty; they are used freely in navigator.js in a manner which requires them to be synchronous. But I've always considered that to be a bit of a hack, and I'd be delighted to wake up and find that they had been refactored away. But I think it would be quite tricky: we'd have to completely change how we handle the associated messages in navigator.js.
