Re: [webappsec] CSP: are blob uri's really just origin='self'?

We had an action item for some time to clarify this, that we dropped.  I'd
propose something like the following:


Inline-content
--------------------

Certain URL schemes, including but not limited to javascript:, data: and
blob:, and the srcdoc attribute of iframe, refer to content that is
delivered inline with the body of another HTTP response, rather than a
resource representation independently retrieved with an identifiable
origin.  Such schemes have special processing rules:

1)  Schemes designating inline content are ignored if listed directly as a
scheme-source, and are excluded from the "*" match rule.

1) For most directives, all resources designated by these schemes are
considered equivalent to the 'self' origin, and allowed if 'self' is
specified, either by keyword-source or by the host-source production
matching the resource's own origin.

2) For the script-src directive, all resources designated by these schemes
do not match unless the 'unsafe-eval' keyword-source is specified.


I wonder if we need to consider similar for style-src?  Is it 'self' or
'unsafe-inline'?
