Hmm, just looked that up, but all I found on that was one page that
implies (sadly, with no sources referenced) it did not make it in:
http://hannah.wf/why-dont-all-html-elements-have-a-src-attribute/
However, looks like what happened instead was iframe grew a "seamless"
attribute, which frankly looks pretty damn sweet:

Still researching browser compatibility and adoption though.
TL;DR: New in HTML5: <iframe seamless src="url" /> is the answer
(assuming it isn't still *too* new, not sure yet)
Well, it appears seamless iframes are basically useless despite (from
what I can tell) apparently being in the spec for a few years now.
Doesn't work at all in even the latest FF. Didn't bother testing the
others, but according to this, even today seamless iframes are still
supported in exactly *nothing*:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=iframe-seamless
Setting the "display:block" on the iframe's css doesn't help, it just
affects placement, not how it gets sized.
There are a few basic CSS settings that help a *little* bit though:
border-width: 0px;
background-color: transparent;
padding: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
Too bad :(
Is it just me or does the moniker "HTML5" seem pretty useless since
there doesn't appear to have ever been any *actual* HTML5 spec, just an
ever-changing target with piecemeal browser adoption?
