------- Additional Comments from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org>
I don't think that tests like this should be script-tests. That doesn't improve
anything, but has very real costs - for example, I can't just open a test and
see what it does, as I need to open related .js file in a subdirectory instead.


Also, it's more difficult to share tests that utilize complicated support
libraries with engineers working on other engines, so it's less likely that
they will run our tests and be compatible with us.

And you had to resort to DOM manipulation just to add an iframe element.

It would be useful to also have a test that calls getCurrentPosition() directly
from iframe, not from a function defined in main frame's document.
