Description

Task 1: remove that from the "authoring tool" (or possibly add clarification/link to FAQ?)

Task 2: investigate window message passing to see if there's a way to do this safely. I read about that some over the weekend, and I'm not really sure how we would. So maybe we can't do it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the authoring tool behavior around hash/bookmark links in iframes, then investigate the window message-passing entry points mentioned in the issue. Clarify whether the authoring tool should remove or document the behavior, and determine whether safe message passing can support it; the issue is done when one of those outcomes is specified and implemented.
