I couldn't find any mention of it in the WHATWG archives or Bugzilla,
though I did find an e-mail from sicking saying he'd proposed it to the

bikeshedding the names looks like.
As noted in the previous e-mail, it's not clear that the content-blocker

That's the use case I was talking about, but they'd want at least
control over stylesheets too, I'd think.
