Re: Proposal: A pinning mechanism for CSP?

Not to bikeshed too much, but everywhere else we have a subtractive
combination logic for policy.  We're proposing (with good reason) a
replacement model here.  I only wonder how to make that as clear as
possible.

Perhaps instead of "Content-Security-Policy-Pin",
"Content-Security-Policy-Origin-Default" ?
