Additional spec detail: multiple invocations?

[Mike Hanson]

The Introducer spec isn't entirely clear on what should happen if the Customer calls introduce() twice.

I suspect that the most useful thing would be for all active communication to be terminated, for any open windows or frames to be closed or removed from the DOM, and for the process to commence as though the first request had not occured. Getting that right will be tricky.

We don't want to kill off prior successful introductions, just prior
pending introductions.

Getting that right will be a little tricky and has a lot in common
with the <select> drop-down which has also proved to be tricky.
