How?

"about:blank" in particular is magic with respect to security on the web
in various ways (e.g. it can end up same-origin with http:// pages). So
I think we do need to specify exactly when this magic security behavior
takes place.

The spec is not meant to imply that the special same-origin behaviour for about:blank is to be inherited by any other about URI, even if other URIs also return a blank document. Perhaps, I need to make that clearer in the spec.
