Thanks Jeff.

I think this question boils down to how general purpose we want CSP
policies to be.  For example, would we rather have yet another one-off
HTTP header for something like From-Origin:

http://annevankesteren.nl/2011/02/from-origin

or should that just be a CSP directive:

Content-Security-Policy: restrict-embedding-to *.example.com

(module naming)?.  If CSP comes with a lot of baggage, that's going to
lead to a proliferation of these sorts of headers.  On the other hand,
which seems unfortunate.
