It's interesting to note that this draft says there's a problem with

do it.  I can see the argument that might be made that this draft is just
documenting what's done now, but shouldn't we take the opportunity to do
more and recommend something along the lines of "The entire ancestor tree
of names of the framing resource SHOULD be checked to mitigate the risk
of attacks in multiple-nested scenarios" or something like that?

It seems that that should be work for the W3C folks who are working on
the successor mechanism.  This really *is* just meaning to document
what's in use now, warts and all.

I agree with Barry. 
(And we gave according input to WebAppSec at W3C when we handed over the goal 
for CSP1.1.)

Best regards, Tobias

 And the ancestor walking behavior is what we have specified in the successor 
at W3C.
