>  Previously, we sent the IPC to forward a cross-process postMessage
>  immediately.  This caused a behavioral difference from the
>  same-process case where the postMessage is always scheduled.  Namely,

>    frame.postMessage(...);
>    doSomethingThatSendsIPCsToFrame(frame);

>  the IPCs from JS following the postMessage would've been ordered
>  incorrectly, causing |frame| to see their side effects after the
>  postMessage dispatch in the cross-process case, whereas they would be
>  seen before the postMessage dispatch in the same-process case.  One
>  example of this is frame.focus(), and another is a frame element
>  onload event (dispatched via FrameHostMsg_DispatchLoad) arriving after
>  a postMessage dispatched from an inline script while the frame was
>  still loading.

>  To resolve these ordering concerns, this CL changes cross-process
>  postMessage to do a PostTask on the sender side before sending the
>  message to the browser process.  This improves the current state of
>  the world, but does not yet achieve a perfect match for the IPC
>  ordering in the same-process case - see discussion on the bug.
