Re: CSP: Drop IP-matching? (was Re: [CSP] URI/IRI normalization and comparison)

No strong objections.  I always was iffy about use of IP addresses.  There
have been some requests for it but I think given low overall adoption rates
of CSP thus far, and the even lower use of IP addresses on the general Web,
it's fine to put it in the "for future exploration if demand merits" bucket.
