I wonder if this is in need of something like what was already
implemented for popups/popunders - make it impossible to connect to any
other server except in direct response to a user click. Unfortunately
even as I think about it I can think of dozens of ways around it - eg
store the information in an object and submit it later when the user
*does* click, or use a meta refresh or some other way to force a
connection to the server in case the user never clicks at all.
The only surefire way seems to be to disable onmouseover and onmouseout,
which we can already do.
