I have a strong feeling that per-origin control should be made easy for 
authors. I must admit that I am not familiar with the mechanisms you 
name, Frame-Options and ancestor-origins - and both are quite hard to 
google for. From what I found I assume both are about HTTP headers.

If they are solutions that can be used easily with server-side languages 
such as PHP, I think we can live with it. But anyway it is a 
complication; I'd personnally prefer something like
allowseemles="example.org, *.example.org, shop.otherdomain.com"

Or maybe space separated, and separate inherit-style with comma:
allowseemles="example.org *.example.org shop.otherdomain.com, inherit-style"

(Regardless of whether it is in the HTML element or in a META element.)
