OK, suppose instead that you had a browser that hung indefinitely or 
crashed or exploded in similar circumstances. Is the hang or the crash 
or the explosion a "document" which would count as a result? If not, 
then why isn't the doc that IE renders for you just an IE 
implementation detail rather than something related to the 
(non-resolving) URI?
