Why is timeout in struct document?

When a script in a web page calls window.setTimeout, ELinks sets
document.timeout.  So, when two tabs are displaying the same
document (e.g. test/ecmascript/scroll.html), only one of the tabs
can have a timeout at a time.  If that tab is closed, then
nothing has a timeout any more.  That does not seem right to me.

Witekfl originally added ecmascript_interpreter.timeout on
2006-10-23, but then replaced that with document.timeout in
commit 2fe0623298a5a16b6a97885de30f5aae1a44855d the next day.
Why was that?

On a related note, we should perhaps add a document_view.title
or view_state.title that ECMAScript could modify instead of
document.title.  It seems weird that document title changes
affect multiple tabs while input field changes do not.
