Even if you bake the frame into the rendered document, the window can
be scrolled up or down (window.scrollTo) to take it off screen or
bring it back. Making "like" buttons stay in place as the user
legitimately scrolls a page of Youtube comments is probably a no go
;-)

Plus, even if you solve this, it gets even more complicated if you
have a non-XFO frame that has a "restricted" XFO frame inside - and
when that non-XFO frame is resized; or if the browser window itself is
resized, which is permitted by default in some U-As.
