But would you do the same thing on the main page or an iframe if you
could: trap the Escape key and make them _use_ the page to _stop_ the
page?
Longtime FF power users have to be used to this working. They may be
deliberately using the Esc key to drop the connection -- this is a lot
more likely to happen on-purpose with persistent websocket
connections, or with XHR long-polling, than it might have been to
vainly try to stop, say, a single XHR that ran on domready.
Dunno, I can see both sides, but disabling it seems like the wrong
route.
