Sure it can, if the abuse case is the overwhelming case. Browsers
have done it before, and users were very glad they did.

I'm not sure about whole functionality removed without replacement...
You wrote to Tab "the legitimate use-case for popup windows is also
reasonable, yet browsers have popup blockers." sure, but this
functionality was not removed, etc... I can imagine no DOM/browsing
context manipulation (even new browsing context) by default, only on opt
in (but when the optin? before the beforeunload :) ?) But disabling it
altogethe, because someone may alert "Do you really want to exit this
page?"?
