We should add a keepalive attribute to iframes that prevents iframes from being unloaded/reloaded when removed from or appended to a document. Similarly, a disconnected iframe with keepalive should load. If the keepalive attribute is removed from a disconnected iframe, then it should unload. I'm not terribly happy with the name 'keepalive', but I can't think of anything better at the moment. As iframes increasingly become the standard way of achieving certain tasks (e.g. sandboxing), it's increasingly important to be able to move them around in the DOM. Right now, to achieve this sort of keepalive behavior, you have to keep the iframe always appended to the document and position it absolutely as the document changes. Ojan
