You should probably note that if a user is using VoiceOver, they would have
to use some special combo (alt+ctrl+shift+down?) instead of it simply being
part of the parent page's doc flow. If you can can figure out how to
elegantly drop the focus into the page upon iframe focus, I would recommend
it.
