Thanks for your feedback!

I have made some bad experiences with restrictions of IFrames (even on 
the same origin) in the past.

That's a while ago already and the support is probably much better 
today. I just want to field another idea anyways:
With Web Components most of the drawbacks you correctly observed would 
be obsolete (especially with Shadow DOM and encapsulated CSS/JS) and it 
would probably be easier to migrate to WC than to IFrames.

Frankly this is still pie in the sky, but with projects like Polymer[2] 
I could imagine this to be usable in current browsers quite soon (and 
github is already for that matter).
