Currently, XFO performs a same origin check only against the top-level frame in a document's ancestor chain. As lcamtuf notes in [1], "Any site that allows a rogue ad to be displayed in an IFRAME; or that frames third-party content for other reasons (e.g., iGoogle, Image Search results, Facebook gadgets), is effectively not protected)." We should check all ancestors instead.
