Summary
Remove the attribute DOMString location from HTMLFrameElement.
Motivation
This is a Blink/WebKit-only API, not implemented in Firefox Nightly or IE11.
Compatibility Risk
The implementation (HTMLFrameElementBase::setLocation) will navigate the frame. Failure to do so will leave any page that depends on the API in a broken state.
Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers
Set HTMLFrameElement.src instead. It uses setLocation internally.
Usage information from UseCounter
http://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/197
That's between 0.0001% and 0.0003%, but its curious that the percentage looks quantized to increments of 0.0001. Maybe a limitation of the scripts in use?
This counter is in M33:

If someone wants to check the stats for stable only, that would be nice, but this far below the threshold it seems unlikely to matter.
Entry on chromestatus.com and/or MDN
No.
Requesting approval to remove too?
Yes, requesting immediate removal since usage is so low.
