Netscape, presumably the inventors, documented it at

http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/guide/advtopic.html#1004952

or already in the 'JavaScript [1.1] Guide for Navigator 3.0' accessible
at

http://web.archive.org/web/20040212093615/http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/archive.html

for example - and then they got copied - and this group's FAQ mentions
that behavior (unfortunately FAQ's down at the moment at least for me).
