[whatwg] iframe sandbox allow-bottom-navigation

Hi Adam,

Hum... you are right. I just reread the specs and now I see that this
would be the top-down equivalent to *writing* to a child iframe using
src. I misread the specs believing you could *read* the top frame's
location, which by symmetry led me to believe that you could also
*read* from the top-down. My fault!

Except for the browser, at least theoretically. So if you could extend
this trust to the Webtop by guaranteeing that it's the top-most
authority, then just like the browser the Webtop could have access to
every children's history. So I guess the top-down/bottom-up symmetry
is not so symmetric after all!

Anyways, thanks for clearing this out!

Kind regards,
Nick
