We have a suggested patch that implements the proposed new behavior  
for WebKit now, but I think that it adds unnecessary complexity, and  
puts limits on how we can refactor the code in the future. We need to  
remember frame boundaries for much longer, making it difficult to  
interface with general purpose networking code.

I'd prefer sticking to the previously specified behavior.
