Sounds OK to me though I'd just want to be careful to do whatever the standards 
process dictates here.  I have to imagine there's a precedent we'd want to 
follow.

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.
