This sounds like a really good idea to me.  I could use a change like this for 
bug 371839, I think.

I wonder whether it's worth putting those outside the textframe (e.g. having a 
class-static data structure that has this info) or something.  I'd assume we 
never have many frames that want a continuation but don't have one yet in 
flight... in fact, do we ever have more than one?
