Description

As per https://github.com/w3c/webappsec-secure-contexts/issues/5#issuecomment-151737360 it seems that whenever we want to inherit one of origin, HTTPS state, CSP policy or document's URL, we want to inherit all of them. To make this a lot clearer and easier to audit it would be better if the text detailing this was located together in the same sections.

Research direction

Search the HTML Standard for the sections defining inherited origin, HTTPS state, CSP policy, and the document's URL, then compare their inheritance wording. Done means the related text is co-located without changing the specified behavior and the resulting sections are easier to audit.
