Review request for shindig, johnfargo and Dan Dumont.


Summary
-------

I think I found a bug which was introduced by a recent change to how we create 
gadget site ids. 
Looks like it was these changes https://reviews.apache.org/r/1011/#. 

The change in the code above changed how we generate site ids. We used to 
increment a counter every time a new site is created. Now if the DOM element 
has an id attribute we use that as the site id. If the container chooses to use 
the same DOM element for two different instances of a gadget site, (for example 
closing an existing gadget site and using the DOM element of the previous 
gadget site for a new gadget site) the site id will be the same between both 
instances. We also use the gadget site id to generate the iFrame id. In rpc.js 
there is a variable called sameDomain which appears to keep a map of gadget 
iFrame ids to the the iFrame window's same domain function. It doesn't look 
like we ever remove these functions when the gadget iframe is removed from the 
DOM. Since now you can now generate two different site instances with the same 
id it will be possible to use the previous gadget window's same domain function 
(which is no longer exist when the gadget is close) for RPC requests coming 
from the new window 

I do not think the solution is to revert the gadget site changes, I think the 
correct solution is to remove the function from the sameDomain map. The 
question I have is what is the best way to do this? A strait forward solution 
is to have the gadget sites close function remove the function from the map 
when it removes the iFrame from the DOM.
