Saying that @sandbox works for all browsing contexts is a lot simpler than saying it works for a particular white- or black-list of tag names. -Boris

Given the way object sometimes creates a browsing context and sometimes not (e.g. for images) I think we already lost that kind of simplicity. And seamless/height/width do not make sense for frame and HTMLFrameElement has various features that HTMLIFrameElement does not. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/

My concern here is that it might be confusing that @sandbox works for object when it contains a HTML page, but not when it contains a plugin. That's a good point. Maybe it would be best on frame but not on object. i think with the semantics of @sandbox on iframe and plugins, the interpretation of @sandbox in general on object could not help but be confusing - adding a case where it works for HTML doesn't seem to help here. so after this discussion, i agree: yes on frame no on object thanks ian
[whatwg] iframe sandbox, object tag
Hi, while implementing the IFRAME sandbox attribute, a couple of questions have come up : - although the HTML5 spec deprecates the frame tag, there's been a couple of people asking if frame will support @sandbox - thoughts and opinions here welcome, although this may be 'off topic' if the list is purely concerned with the HTML5 spec, please just let me know if so. - there's also a similar question about whether the object tag will (should) support @sandbox when using the form object type=text/html data=something.html (which is in the HTML5 spec) - thoughts and opinions also welcome here. thanks ! ian

That seems like a win. There's very little implementation effort needed to support that. - there's also a similar question about whether the object tag will (should) support @sandbox when using the form object type=text/html data=something.html (which is in the HTML5 spec) - thoughts and opinions also welcome here.
