The current Netscape behavior in this area is not applet friendly. In
addition to the applet .class files, the applet state is important. For
instance, the applet may have computed/loaded several frames of an animation
sequence. If at this point, the user decides to go to a different page and
return, all state is lost, and the applet is restarted.
Applets ought to be able to request to be paused/resumed to deal with these
situations rather than the default stop/start. Thoughts on this?
