The fight against popups and spam is a never-ending arms race.  No  
matter how good the popup blocker gets, spammers will eventually find  
ways around it, which will have to be fixed.  I agree that popup  
blockers will need to find some new tricks eventually, but I think  
popups are still rare enough that it's not a pressing issue.
