Hi Tony It's good to broaden the understanding of the benefits and pitfalls of iframes. One takeaway from this thread is that using iframes is a well understood technique in the developer community, and TW already uses them in several roles (plugin library, viewing HTML tiddlers, innerwiki, Twederation).
We can continue to discuss exposing iframe functionality as primitives that wikitext authors can experiment with, but we'll need some clear scenarios first.
