I don't think sandbox would be a problem. If scripts are disabled with
<iframe sandbox> then the page wouldn't run the script that turns
everything on.

Similarly, if the browser doesn't support the extra APIs, then the
script would know that it didn't have clickjacking protection, and
would enter a more conservative mode - e.g. opening a new window to do
particularly sensitive operations.
