Ok I just did a quick check on Dojo, Dojo uses it but only on iframes
for cross domain communications so it is safe there as well.
jQuery seems to be save and neither does YUI, I guess the rest of the
bunch also is safe but needs checkup.
But either way we probably should add some generic window.name api which
allows to store key value pairs in the window.name, just for the sake of
not being to intrusive just in case someone wants to use it. something
long those lines jsf.util.windowNameGet(key) and
jsf.util.windowNamePut(key, value). So if anything breaks the complib
authors then have a chance to work on it via an api.
