I don't have a proposed solution so far. I just have a problem. The problem is that UAs that implement <iframe srcdoc> per spec end up with broken UI. Safari certainly does, and so will Firefox with the current srcdoc patches. Generating an equivalent data: URL may not be good enough as a solution, because that would require teaching all sorts of extensions and other code that assumes that loading a url will give you the data about this special case. Having the url of the document end up something like about:srcdoc?abcdef where dereferencing it gives you the right data _may_ be a solution. But again, I don't have a solution so far, just the spec as-is causing obviously broken UAs. -Boris
