Comment(by mikeperry):

 Georg also really hates window.name. I mean like really really hates it
 with a blinding, almost irrational level of fury, even if its existence is
 limited only to click-driven linkability. ;)

 He's talked me into this addition to the Philosophy section, as well as
 creating a Deprecation List section for things like window.name:

 {{{
 7. Linkability transparency

 Our long term goal is to reduce all linkability to mechanisms that are
 detectable by experts, so they can alert the general public about places
 where it occurs. To this end, we will create a Deprecation List of archaic
 web technologies that are currently (ab)used to facilitate federated login
 and other legitimate click-driven cross-domain activity but that should
 be replaced with more privacy friendly, auditable alternatives.
