Hi Tony

I don't think these ideas are related to the innerwiki plugin so much as the 
underlying iframe primitive. Generally, there has been extensive exploration of 
using iframes as a means of integration in the browser; and iframes are widely 
used for advertisements and for embedded widgets, and hence the techniques 
you're interested in exploring are pretty widely documented/understood.

Generally speaking, though, integration via iframes is inferior to integration 
via the server. If you've got a server available, then things like handing off 
to a PHP login script in a separate window are pretty trivial without needing 
iframes. Iframes really shine when one doesn't have the option of a server.

Anyhow, via the experimental single tiddler view, the server already has the 
ability to host self-contained HTML apps as single tiddlers. And ordinary 
wikitext can freely create iframes and inject content into them, so I think you 
can experiment along the lines you describe.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
