Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-11-07 22:03:45 UTC 
Which steps?
Comment 2 Anne 2014-11-08 08:07:22 UTC 
Penultimate paragraph of https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#windows not counting the note.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-11-12 18:55:31 UTC 
Oh, I see. Not really steps, and not specific to a nested browsing context, just the rules for creating browsing contexts. Sure, we can have a hyperlink there. Should probably link to this from anywhere that creates browsing contexts.
Comment 4 Anne 2014-11-12 18:57:30 UTC 
Yeah sorry. I'd imagine those to become steps at some point, when we make it more complicated :-)

And yeah, that'd be hugely helpful. It's often not clear to people how <iframe> works, and stuff like this really helps with that.
Comment 5 Hallvord R. M. Steen 2014-11-14 23:24:50 UTC 
For context, Anne reported this bug because he had to explain to me how <iframe>s work, and he'd rather not have to do it again ;)
The more links the merrier.
