Ideas for (web)application mode

• per request decide wether to use normal mode or (web)application mode. Each request should include an extra headerline or a http-equiv meta tag if it wants to use the (web)application mode. The browser should have a whitelist of domains which are allowed to enter (web)application mode. Maybe it can be further restricted by only allowing it when the domain has a valid ssl certificate.
• bypass popup blocking
• ignore javascript limitations (actions which can be disabled in the "advanced javascript settings" dialog)
• allow modal popups (eg: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodaldialog.asp)
• allow (web)applications to control the history/bookmarking (eg: provide "onhistoryback", "onhistoryforward" and "onbookmark" events) (for a complete problem description see: http://www.contentwithstyle.co.uk/Articles/38/fixing-the-back-button-and-enabling-bookmarking-for-ajax-apps)
