Thanks for commenting on this! Do you want to open an issue on the
JupyterLab repo about this where we can discuss more in detail the
implications?

For example, someone could write a notebook opener that would use iframes
for isolation and would work alongside everything else in jlab. That might
be a really interesting extension idea to explore.

Thanks,

Jason
