test_postMessage_special.xhtml | test timed out (postMessage not accessible on window.parent in the first about:blank iframe?)

Comment 1

[Jeff Walden [:Waldo]]

This could just be slowness; that timeout is supposed to be a fallback for engines like WebKit that have different (and I think not HTML5-sanctioned) security models from ours, where the keep-going notification we expect to receive will never actually be sent.  Bumping the timeout up is one option; it also might be possible to add a backup notification mechanism in case of failure, to avoid reliance on the timeout as a failure-detection method in the first place.
