Thanks.

If you think my suggestion would break existing content, it would be
more useful if you could actually explain your reasoning to me. It is
clear to me that Content-Type:text/xsl indicates the message body is
an XML document, I do not understand why adopting the text I proposed
would break any content.

If an implementation does the method syntax check before the same
origin check, you would get a SYNTAX_ERR exception; if you change
the order, you get a SECURITY_ERR exception. Clearly those are not
the same result. The question is why the draft now mandates a par-
ticular execution order. It is not clear to me it should.
