There is a usability issue here: is it more usable (w.r.t. the web developer) to:

(1) support a declaration of "anti-csrf" and enable the widest default set of protections that could be offered against CSRF (without being too strict as to break the most common use cases), but possibly having multiple modules specifying (complementary) form policies, or

(2) group all form-related policies in a single module, even if the policies address fundamentally different attacks?

Is it acceptable (not too strict) to block all form submission to non-self and non-whitelisted action URIs when the anti-csrf directive is given? If so, then the above usability issue may be moot: we can have anti-csrf imply an as-yet-undefined directive that blocks form submission.
