 jonas: it's not clear as to whether ben is referring to chrome
frames, iframes or what kind of frames.  i created a specific section
which requests some clarification so that these things can be
discussed unambiguously and non-laboriously.

 i _would_ write those definitions but a) i am an outsider b) i've
already not known because of being an outsider what the difference
between a gaia app is and a B2G app c) i actually might not really
know what the true phrase is when *i* say "chrome frames" and i've
seen queries (24 hrs ago) where even people with @mozilla.com email
addresses didn't know either.

 this is complex as hell and we all really really really need to be on
the same page: that means having accurate definitions, linked to long
descriptions if they're needed.
