Man, that's _ugly_.  I'd vote for just letting the iframe have child
content.  As it sits, there is nothing stopping people from plopping
child content into an iframe with prior HTML versions and older
browsers; the older browsers have already got to be able to handle
child content in iframes,  even if handling it means ignoring it....
