           Summary: [BlackBerry] Allow an embedder to position child
                    windows using window coordinates
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified

Currently, child windows may be positioned in document coordinates, which requires the BlackBerry::Platform::Graphics::Window::virtualRect() of the parent window to be kept in sync with the document visible content rect. This is easy if there's a one-to-one correspondence between windows and scrollable frames.

However, for an embedder that can display an entire scene graph (where the web page is just one of the nodes) in one window, several scrollable frames may be present in that window, and it's difficult to know which scrollable frame to sync the virtualRect with.

For the latter scenario, it makes more sense to use window coordinates to place child windows.
