On a related note (to Ian's initial message), I'd like to ask again to
see some real-world policy examples.  I suggested CNN last time, but
if something like Twitter would be an easier place to start, maybe we
could see that one?  Or see the example for mozilla.org, maybe?  Or
even just some toy problems to start, working up to real-world stuff
later.

I'm asking for a reason: I think the process of trying to determine
good policy for some real sites will give a lot of insight into where
CSP may be too complex, or equally, where it's unable to be
sufficiently precise.  And it provides a bit of a usability test:
remember that initially, many people wanting to use CSP will be
applying it to existing sites as opposed to designing sites such that
they work well with CSP.

People will want examples eventually as part of the documentation for
CSP because, as has been pointed out, they're more likely to cut and
paste from these examples than to generate policy from scratch.  So
let's see what sort of examples people will be cutting and pasting
from!

PS - Full Disclosure: I'm one of the authors of a much simpler system
with similar goals, called SOMA: http://www.ccsl.carleton.ca/software/soma/
so obviously I'm a big believer in simpler policies.  We presented
SOMA last year at ACM CCS, so I promise this isn't just another system
from some random internet denizen -- This is peer-reviewed work from
professional security researchers.
