[whatwg] crossorigin property on iframe

[Adam Barth]

Would this be transitive?  Suppose A allows B with CORS and B allows
C.  What happens when C includes a frame to B and B includes a frame
to A?  Can C access A?  Based on your description, it sounds like
"yes", but there's widespread evidence that transitive trust is
problematic.
