It seems like simply making the first one synchronous, but making the
latter asynchronous, would satisfy your use case. Would other vendors be
ok with this?
In case it wasn't clear from the relevant Gecko thread, I would
personally be fine with this. That said, would "initial about:blank
load" only include <iframe/> (no src at all), or also <iframe src=""/>
or also <iframe src="about:blank"/>? I suspect it doesn't matter that
much, actually, but would welcome confirmation.
Would it have other problems? Are there cases other than navigation where
about:blank being synchronous is detectable? (I couldn't find any.)
I'm not sure what you're asking here...
