In a thread on Web Apps, titled, "connection ceremony for iframe postMessage communications", John Barton brought up some ideas about formalizing an iframe web messaging protocol. The web intents prototype/shim, over at http://webintents.org/ does something very similar. I'd like to explore a protocol for handling web intents over postMessage semantics. It may be very similar, or even match the semantics of the shim, or it may be a little different. John and I seem to have come to the same conclusion that a "ping" message is needed, to setup the handshake. In the case of postMessage, registration may not be an issue/on the table. It's more likely the case that site A wants to interface to site B, and site B has a general mechanism for any site to do so. -Charles
