Re: Follow-up. Re: Use case: Authenticate using eID

Mountie,

If I understand your concern, it is about accessing things directly 
between origins (page and iframes), for security reasons it is very 
limited, except if you are using postMessage, but the principle in that 
case is that origins are controling it and allowing it (for example you 
can not do alert(originB.contentWindow.document.body.outerHTML) but 
originB can return outerHTML via postMessage if it is willing to do it).

I am not a fan of iframes but in that case that's the only way to 
communicate between origins inside the UA using postMessage, and you can 
combine with xhr to communicate some results to the servers.

Regards,
