### You should also know that...

In short,  
We propose adding an opt-in for such pages, via a HTTP header
```
Supports-Loading-Mode: prerender-cross-origin-frames
```
which requests that the browser prerender cross-origin frames on pages containing the header. (The browser remains free to ignore this request, or to ignore the overall request to prerender, if it believes that would be better for user experience.)
