I'm a big fan of the new initiator column in the network tab.  However, I noticed that iframes don't get the proper initiator set.  Instead of showing the correct source, they say "other".  For example, if you pull up  http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe in Chrome Canary and have the network tab open you'll see that the initiator for http://www.w3schools.com (the content opened in the iframe) is set to other.  The code however in tryit.asp is super simple: 

  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

I assume that this is a known issue, but I couldn't find a bug on it.  Can anyone provide clarification on if/when this will be fixed?  Many thanks!
