Is the implication that this prohibits this from providing new information for other origins?  Because it might be read that way.  I would have thought that saying "NO WAY!" to a prompt on `https://google.com` might reasonably be interpreted as a rejection for (for example) `http://google.com`, and even other ports on the same host.  That's something that I believe we do for some permissions in Firefox.
