I agree with your described problems, but I don't see the link between them and adding yet more features to the platform. The solution to "existing information on cross-domain iframe communications is incomplete" is to add more information. The solution to "existing information on cross-domain iframe communications is written in terms few Web app developers understand" is to write new information. The solution to "the browser implementations are new" is to wait. The solution to "the error messages they emit are puzzling" is to file bugs on the browsers with suggestions for how to improve them.
