Re: CSP/CORS (Re: ICE exposes 'real' local IP to javascript)

I can't think of any application of CSP or CORS in this context.  We
already have consent mechanisms equivalent to CORS in the form of ICE.
And CSP serves only as a voluntary reduction in capabilities on the
part of a site.

For instance, consider using Web platform mechanisms such as CSP; that should be in the scope of the W3C draft, right? Something along the lines Web site admin using CSP/CORS to have the UA 'check' the 'find&connect' proxy origin (especially when it is not in the same 'origin' as that of the parent document)?
