Summary

Remove getSVGDocument() from HTMLFrameElement.

Motivation

Per spec the getSVGDocument() method should be only on HTMLEmbedElement, HTMLIFrameElement and HTMLObjectElement.

Compatibility Risk

Gecko doesn't have getSVGDocument() on HTMLFrameElement, while Blink, WebKit and IE11 do. This would be worrying, but the usage is zero.

Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers

Use the contentDocument attribute.

Usage information from UseCounter

Zero. The last time there was any hit at all was in September...

OWP launch tracking bug

Requesting approval to remove too?

Yes.
