Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Permission Delegation (#225)

After London F2F.

We're quite concerned with transitivity of delegations. It's somewhat a question of web security architecture.

If (original origin) _example.com_ delegates permission to honest.com, can _honest.com_ delegate this further, for example to _dishonest.com_? What would be the control over this transitivity of "allow" attribute?

Wondering how to address the issue of transitivity.  One thing that comes to mind is a special attribute allowing transitivity. Then comes further questions, how to actually make webdevs to choose appropriately.
