Seamless iframe has been suggested, but there is a difference. Seamless iframe is actually transparent for styling, it is intended to be equivalent to literally inserting the content into the master document, while what we want for indirect flow is the flow looking and behaving as if it was the document being shown in paged media – styled exactly as author intended for the content, with no interaction with styling of the template.

It seems to me that this "iframe flow" feature is very close to HTML5's "seamless" attribute on <iframe>s, if not identical.
