Hi

Imagine a website that wants to control what external scripts are
loaded. The website uses inline  event handlers too. The hosts for
external scripts can be dynamic (e.g., it is on a CDN) and thus it
uses nonces to load them at runtime. In the new design, all the event
handlers would stop working. I am not sure this is what we want.


Thanks
