I think a generic "open chromeless window" that would remove
anything but scrollbars is fine -- there are use cases where such
a thing is nice to have.

What's hateful is that there's no easy way to override this from
the UI -- sometimes, whatever the script writer's opinion, *I*
want the UI elements, and I want a button somewhere obvious on
such windows that gives me back all of the browser chrome, no
questions asked.
