Before approving the API addition I guess we need to know the answer to this. Likewise, the default behavior I think is platform specific. At least in Safari, it seems that it does not consume mouse events by default that cause the popup to be closed. However I know Cocoa has an API for specifying what this behavior should be. If we add such an API, we probably will want to make sure it defaults to some platform specific value rather than always defaulting to "true" or "false"?
