[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 189824] Rename Frame to BrowsingContext

--- Comment #7 from Ryosuke Niwa <rniwa at webkit.org> ---
I'm conflicted about this too. I *think* browsing context is a common enough spec jargon which appears frequently enough that anyone seriously working on a browser engine needs to be familiar with.

However, I agree with Chris that the idea of a frame is a lot simpler to understand than the abstract concept of a browsing context.

Maybe we can call it BrowsingContextFrame / FrameBrowsingContext?

Another alternative is to add a comment saying a frame is a browsing context. But overall, having to be aware of two different terms to mean the same thing is worse than either calling it a browsing context or a frame. So I'd vote for renaming Frame to BrowsingContext if any.
