Yes, if you cannot control the content of the iframe and so, which rendering 
mode will be used.  However, it is easier to access the iframe context's 
WindowProxy object by name or index, using the “frames” collection:

  window.frames["myiframe"].document.body
  window.frames["myiframe"].document.documentElement

  window.frames[0].document.body
  window.frames[0].document.documentElement

This referencing, which originates from “DOM Level 0”, is specified in HTML5 
(CR):

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-html5-20121217/browsers.html#the-window-
object>

(The WindowProxy object appears to be underdefined, but one can see where 
this is going.)
