I'm unfamiliar with Request Policy, but NoScript at least doesn't consider whitelisting transitive, and doesn't display any less even if you've whitelisted the URL's domain. So if I've whitelisted en.wikipedia.org I will still see alerts for other domains, and if I haven't whitelisted en.wikipedia.org I'll just see en.wikipedia.org same as always.
