+ /**
+ * A method to request that this provider provide a window. The window
+ * returned need not to have the right name or parent set on it; setting
+ * those is the caller's responsibility. The provider can always return null
+ * to have the caller create a brand-new window.
+ *
+ * @param aParent Must not be null. This is the window that the caller wants
+ * to use as the parent for the new window. Generally,
+ * nsIWindowProvider implementors can expect to be somehow related to
+ * aParent; the relationship may depend on the nsIWindowProvider
+ * implementation.
+ *
+ * @param aChromeFlags The chrome flags the caller will use to create a new
+ * window if this provider returns null. See nsIWebBrowserChrome for
+ * the possible values of this field.
+ *
+ * @param aPositionSpecified Whether the attempt to create a window is trying
+ * to specify a position for the new window.
+ *
+ * @param aSizeSpecified Whether the attempt to create a window is trying to
+ * specify a size for the new window.
+ *
+ * @param aURI The URI to be loaded in the new window (may be NULL). The
+ * nsIWindowProvider implementation must not load this URI into the
+ * window it returns. This URI is provided solely to help the
+ * nsIWindowProvider implementation make decisions; the caller will
+ * handle loading the URI in the window returned if provideWindow
+ * returns a window.
+ *
+ * When making decisions based on aURI, note that even when it's not
+ * null, aURI may not represent all relevant information about the
+ * load. For example, the load may have extra load flags, POST data,
+ * etc.
+ *
+ * @param aName The name of the window being opened. Setting the name on the
+ * return value of provideWindow will be handled by the caller; aName
+ * is provided solely to help the nsIWindowProvider implementation
+ * make decisions.
+ *
+ * @param aFeatures The feature string for the window being opened. This may
+ * be empty. The nsIWindowProvider implementation is allowed to apply
+ * the feature string to the window it returns in any way it sees fit.
+ * See the nsIWindowWatcher interface for details on feature strings.
+ *
+ * @param aWindowIsNew [out] Whether the window being returned was just
+ * created by the window provider implementation. This can be used by
+ * callers to keep track of which windows were opened by the user as
+ * opposed to being opened programmatically. This should be set to
+ * false if the window being returned existed before the
+ * provideWindow() call. The value of this out parameter is
+ * meaningless if provideWindow() returns null.
+
+ * @return A window the caller should use or null if the caller should just
+ * create a new window. The returned window may be newly opened by
+ * the nsIWindowProvider implementation or may be a window that
+ * already existed.
+ *
+ * @throw NS_ERROR_ABORT if the caller should cease its attempt to open a new
+ * window.
+ *
+ * @see nsIWindowWatcher for more information on aFeatures.
+ * @see nsIWebBrowserChrome for more information on aChromeFlags.
