Re: POWER: Combining document and settings object checks.

In another spec, I'd like to write:

If the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/#incumbent-settings-object">incumbent
settings object</a> is <a href="
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/powerfulfeatures/#settings-sufficiently-secure">not
a sufficiently secure context</a>, then reject _promise_ with a
SecurityError.

Is there a reason to use the extra verbosity suggested in
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/powerfulfeatures/#new?

Thanks,
Jeffrey (or Jeff :)
