Sounds reasonable.

Now, what happens when an isolated document messages with a
same-origin document that is not isolated? Is that a risk we care
about? If you have a capability-based security model you might hand
around ports and assign authority to those ports. However, if these
ports are introduced in your system through non-trustworthy pages (per
the "people make mistakes" bit of the threat model), is that something
we want to protect against? (Could also be a BroadcastChannel that
starts emitting propaganda or some such.)
