Subj : why allow scripts to run in background windows?

In response to the recent Secunia advisory about malicious windows
  that hide their source, a Slashdot poster said:

"Javascript multitasking must be disabled, only letting the current active 
window or tab having keyboard focus to run its javascript. Other tabs' 
scripts must not be disabled, but instead paused until they in turn receive 
focus."

This struck me as a really good idea, but I couldn't find anything
  in Bugzilla on this concept (either active or WONTFIX).

Anyone know why Mozilla isn't considering this?
