New patch with text tests for invisible-nested-iframe-{show,hide}.

For the plugin tests, do you mean to test that the behavior is actually broken ? I can add that if you wish, though it seems counter-productive.

The ramifications for the web... well. Plugins are handled awkwardly in WebKit in that they are linked to the render tree instead of the DOM. When that is solved, the (rare) extra failures caused by this change will go away as well.
It's not the intention of this patch to fix plugins - if you need me to fix that as well before you accept this patch, please let me know, though it won't happen any time soon.
I think having correct rendering for visible content outweighs correct behavior in invisible iframes - and several other developers seem to agree that not creating render objects for invisible iframes is the right thing to do.
