Of course I googled some, but not these specific terms. So I did and there was no news.
The results all warn for using iframes when there is no understanding of the drawbacks if iframes
I find that the mentioned drawbacks are exactly the reasons I am tending to using iframes:
-- bookmarking not possible: perfect!
-- navigation issues: okay.
-- style sheets not integrated: hurray!

So, my quest was also for possible security issues, specific to using iframes in geeklog.
It seems that malicious pages will go undetected; but that will not be the case since all external links are under control.
Is this all?
