Re: CSP formal objection.

Hi Glen

I agree that the UA should have the *option* of enforcing CSP over
user-supplied scripts and addons. UAs can decide what they want to do
to better serve their users according to their own priorities.

But, I thought the current phrasing of "SHOULD NOT" is saying exactly
that. Based on RFC 2119[1], can you say more explicitly what changing
the current phrasing with "SHOULD NOT" to Option #2 with "MAY" will
mean for browsers?

Thanks
Dev
