How does this work with permission-gated capabilities and permission prompts? #6

What happens if the frame delegating the capability does not have the necessary permission to actually use it? In the case of subframe the usage seems close enough to permission/feature delegation but when it comes to popup windows this delegation seems confusing.

Would it be reasonable to enforce that the top-level frame can only delegate capabilities that it already has the permission to make use of?
