It's best for now to just add the documentation over changing
behavior. At some point we need to harmonize the multi-screen APIs so
that it works consistently on desktop, embedded and mobile (because
currently it only works right on BlackBerry phones). But I believe
that's scheduled for after we harmonize the multi-window APIs to work
consistently on mobile (i.e. Android).
