+How to Handle Frontend iFrame Plugin Fallback 
+======================================================================================
+
+Status
+------
+
+Draft
+
+Context
+-------
+The Frontend Plugin Framework's iFrame class implementation will live in Frontend Platform,
+but the question of how we want to handle the case where the iFrame fails to render needs to
+handled. 
+
+Given that this is a new feature that is being made available to the frontend, we 
+can't anticipate all of the ways that the plugin will be used for a given repo, nor do we 
+have any intention to limit the scope of how it can be used. Because we don't know all of the use 
+cases for the plugin, we also don't know the desired fallback method that is desired for any 
+given plugin.
+
+Decision
+--------
+For the above reasons, we will have failing iFrame plugins return an H1 tag that 
+says "There was an error.". By doing so, it is up to the engineer/team that implements the plugin 
+to handle the desired fallback however they would like. 
+
+Rejected Alternatives
+---------------------
+
+The initial assumption was that we should determine what the fallback would be
+if the iFrame plugin render failed. The extent of what this handling could look like 
+ranges from taking in a fallback argument to providing the same fallback image no matter
+how the plugin was being used. These options limit the possibilities for how the fallback 
+-- and the plugin itself -- would present itself by assuming each plugin implementation 
+or desired fallback method will be the same for all plugins.
