My read is that #313 is in concordance with the "floating proposal" (to
require permission at top level only), and is absolutely necessary in
order for the "floating proposal" to be viable (otherwise, the "floating
proposal" would automatically grant permission to all nested iframes, no
dialogue needed - which would be a privacy disaster).

So I see #313 as a Good Thing to merge - it makes the "floating
proposal" feasible, because all the pages that would have to be broken
under the "floating proposal" are already broken by #313.

(ObIrrelevantAside: #313 is the number of Donald Duck's car. I'm not
sure what inferences we can draw from that.)
