yep.

seems to me, this confusion & potential issues are reasons to /not/ specify the header name as "Frame-Options" (for now), given "X-FRAME-OPTIONS" apparent wide use.

FWIW, we can make this "X-FRAME-OPTIONS" spec be on the Informational or Experimental track. Microsoft already has a modest passel of specs in the former group.
