I've been pursuing something like this for transferring content between
frames. That's part of why I was excited to see Web Intents taking off.
I also went with a ping mechanism for messaging.
I recommend taking this thread over to the Web Intents list and
examining it there. I see every reason to want a loose idea of what Web
Intents over postMessage would look like.
They have a shim mechanism for demo purposes and backwards
compatibility, but they don't have the same focus you do (or I do), on
iframe postMessage.
