Open console and run the following code in any page.

var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.src = 'http://bl.ocks.org/nanto/raw/695cfa663c066077e2ea/';
document.body.appendChild(iframe);

We expect a.host to be 'bl.ocks.org' but in IE it becomes a host of parent document.

This behavior of IE was referred to in http://d.hatena.ne.jp/monjudoh/20110207/1297071182 (written in Japanese).
