Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Using the iframe sandbox plumbing, developers want the ability to let an iframe cause popups.

W3C working group change proposal

See bug 766282#c1

2. Users & use cases

From the w3 change proposal: "As a simple example, consider hosting a maps control in a page. The maps control is hosted from another domain and outside the hosting author’s control. Such a mash-up is a perfect use case for HTML5 Sandbox. However, many of these types of controls include links that are targeted to open in a new browsing context. There is an example of such a scenario at the IE Test Drive site (requires an HTML5 Sandbox supporting browser, such as IE10 Platform Preview 2, Chrome, or Safari)."
