It's come to my attention I only responded to a portion of this message in my first reply.

It would seem you’re concerned that activating a link in an iframe would default the frame target to itself. That's a valid concern, but may not be a problem in practice, and there are ways to prevent that accidental behavior. The author could use a target attribute, the user could trigger a "open in new tab" functionality, etc. It may also be appropriate for this page to open links in the same target. In any case, it's something to consider, but I don't think it'd be a concern, so to speak. James
