Gecko makes iframe viewports transparent by default.  So does webkit (at 
least in Safari and Chrome, though the Safari version over here has a 
nasty flicker of white before painting the thing behind the iframe 
sometimes).  Iframes seem to be transparent by default in Opera too.

It's probably worth specifying this (perhaps in the HTML specification?).
