Re: [CSP] different perspective on Report-Only

Perhaps the right interpretation is "report to no-one but X".  That
would cause two conflicting directives to turn into "don't report to
anyone".

(If you think of each directive as narrowing scope, then logically the
absence of a -report-only directive is to report to everyone, but I
think we can handle that.)
