Re: [CSP] "sri" source expression to enforce SRI

Perhaps the bloat is something that actually needs to be addressed?
Creating many headers doesn't really solve the bloat issue.
I agree that it doesn't need to be the core CSP spec especially as we have
UI Security separate etc.
But yes when we discussed this last certainly one directive isn't flexible
enough for example when SRI expands to images having all assets on the page
requiring SRI would probably be too inflexible.
