HA! Your reply here and in a private email gave the missing piece in my puzzle of confusion; The plugin "Install" button is *not *in any iframe after all!
I'm sure some are rolling their eyes now because the whole process *has* already been explained several times, in hangouts by Jeremy. So let me explain why I never got it, in case anyone tries to explain it for people who might be as slow as I have been -* such as in potential documentation on the matter*: It is the visual appearance of the plugin library and my perception of what an iframe is, that misled me; Jeremy has (patiently) explained that the plugin library uses a hidden iframe and also a postMessage. Now, all use cases of iframes that I've seen are a visual representations of remote websites. So, the "deep digging" to reach the plugin list and the loading delay really tricked me into assuming that this involved the iframe, temporarily visible... or perhaps, somehow, not visible but still loading. I now understand that an iframe is not at all involved *before *you click the Install button and that an iframe is not *necessarily *a visual thing at all. Instead the click sets some parameter and it is only after this that the iframe - a separate matter (and styled to not display) - becomes active, and uses this parameter value. So, NOW I think I finally got it (...but please do shout if I somehow still didn't...).
