If you really want a blank page, create a blank page.Okay, then the correct action is *not* to file a bug against links asking it to support about:blank. The correct action is to file a bug against Mozilla asking it to remove support for it in HREF and frame SRC arguments, correct?As long as we care about being standards-compliant..... /me ducks
The standard doesnt forbid it. Additional tags are what killed browser compatibility in the first place. We need more tags like iframe and embed. A generic csshole tag would suffice.
And if at somepoint that happened (fixing href and src tags) and your site broke, where would that leave things? You're relying on a side effect subject to interpretation. Thats it. This is not a flame, just an observation.
