Having a way to specify in the URL what to put into <iframe>s would indeed be an interesting idea. XFrames was a massively overengineered attempt at solving that solution, but maybe aspects of that idea could be resurrected? Is there any browser vendor interest in addressing this? (BTW, it may be worth reminding people of this FAQ entry that discusses how to propose new ideas: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#Is_there_a_process_for_adding_new_features_to_a_specification.3F In particular, a more careful examination of use cases and input from browser vendors is really important to a proposal's chances of success.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
