Agreed.  And yet, a number of prefetchers have done the trick in the
past, so it's still not something I'd consider safe.

Yes, this has a habit of wiping out all mail in webmail, moderating on
forums, and other crap like that.

A more user-friendly version is to pre-fill the domain and confirmation
code from the URL, then use a "sign this agreement by entering your
name" or relying on the phone number field to tell whether the
submission was user driven or script driven.
