JJB is right about same-origin allowing sharing so making postMessage
unnecessary, but same-origin does not mean a symbol created by a module loaded
in one frame is the same as the symbol created by that module loaded in a
related same-origin frame. That's the trouble.
Except that symbol creation isn't the issue. By definition, each time a symbol is
"created" you are getting a new unique symbol. Frames/contexts/realms have
nothing to to with that.
I agree, but symbols are the nominal issue in this thread.
The issue, is providing access to an already created symbol across such
boundaries. As I have pointed out in other messages, this isn't a problem that
it unique to symbols. It is isomorphic with use cases for sharing any kind of
object across such boundaries.
Indeed, as Tom said just 15 messages up-thread:
''If symbols break across frames, I think the fault lies not with the
symbols. I think the fault lies with the fact that the object on which
the symbol was defined didn't "properly" cross the frame boundaries.
Perhaps we need better abstractions to interpose between frame boundaries?''
