Related notes:

this replaces script-nonce with a new source expression of scheme nonce that generically allows inline content:

So e.g.:

default-src nonce:ABCD1234

<script nonce="ABCD1234">alert(1)</script>

possibly:

<img nonce="ABCD1234" src="data:b64:22234234234afasdf134"/>

should add non-normative guidelines to suggest the size of the nonce (e.g. should be at least 32 bits, or 120 bits, etc...)

Add security/usability considerations on interactions with nonce and http caching. This might break, or might it allow attacks if cache is effectively causing the nonce to be re-used?

Adam took care of this. :)
