AFAIK, Frame in WebKit and "Browsing Context" in the HTML spec are synonymous.

Calling it "Browsing Context" would align us nicely with the HTML spec and make it easier to implement spec text. However, I personally feel that a "Frame" is a clearer concept than a "Browsing Context". If I were not familiar with the HTML spec, I would have no idea what a browsing context is. However, it is pretty obvious what a Frame is.
