Not all pop-ups are bad

I'm back at work. Just finished processing 200 emails, not including flexcoders. Whew! I still have to reply to 22 messages.
The Flex FAQ is now live on devnet.
On my first day at work in 2006, I ran into an interesting issue: Firefox now blocks pop-ups from Flash and other plugins by default. It turns out that some smart people were using Flash to bypass pop-up blockers. With Firefox 1.5, the default value of privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins is 2 -- i.e. block pop-ups.
The same is true of IE6 on Windows XP SP2.
Not all pop-ups are bad though! On what basis does the browser decide if a pop-up is good or bad?
( The 'good' ones... )
