Clarify how
PostMessageTransport.send()uses the recipient window and wildcard target origin.Motivation and Context
The existing comment says that using
"*"makes messages visible to all frames. The implementation callspostMessageoneventTarget, so delivery targets that window. The wildcard allows delivery regardless of the target window's origin, as specified by the HTML Standard.Update the comment to describe that behavior and retain the guidance to validate the message source.
