Re: lcamtuf on the subtle/deadly problem with CSP

It seems like we could let folks specify paths in addition to schemes,
hosts, and ports.

script-src http://example.com/js

would mean you could only load scripts from the "js" directory.  We
should be able to add that in a backwards compatible (but not forwards
compatible) way.  CSP is still behind vendor prefixes in the two
implementations I'm aware of, so making non-forwards compatible
changes is probably still fine.
