I think this is the key concern: we are adding a whole new "default
insecure" threat for legacy web applications who might have no idea
what is happening in the world of webappsec. Instead, may I suggest
that the UI security spec is only enforced if both the security
principals in question have opted-in to trusting each other via an
appropriate X-Frame-Options (or csp frame-options) and csp frame-src
directive. If not enforcement, the reporting is only enforced if both
principals opt-in ?

I am not sure how practical this is (if at all)  for the web
applications the specification targets.
