Yes, this is one part. And easy to solve :)

It's asking for a wormhole across the web's single safe composition mechanism and I think the bar for standardizing it will need to be much higher; at a minimum, we need to see why postMessage, <iframe>, and foreign fetch aren't sufficient for collaboration.

Agree. Yes, this is about a larger discussion about sites that are composed of multiple origins. See the navigation problem I described. It could be hacked around using a fullscreen iframe, sure... but that has its own problems.  

Question is, when/where should we have that discussion? I've been delaying discussing it at Mozilla as we are mostly interested in supporting the basic stuff for now.
