           Summary: XML viewer is not shown when frame has non-null opener
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: vsevik at chromium.org

Rendering of XML without style (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13807) is done only when frame opener is not set.
This is done to ensure that it is not possible to modify xml document after.

Adam Barth suggested that this check is not needed since it is not done in firefox anyway and this case should be extremely rare.
