Lacking time for a thorough review, I'll provide only a few small
suggestions (take them or leave them as you will)...

Abstract

"this standard defines" => "this document defines"

Introduction

OLD
This draft is to document the current use of X-Frame-Options header
and shall in the future be replaced by the Frame-Options
[FRAME-OPTIONS] standard.

NEW
This specification provides informational documentation about the
current definition and use of the X-Frame-Options header.  Given that
the "X-" construction is deprecated [RFC6648], the X-Frame-Options
header will in the future be replaced by the Frame-Options
[FRAME-OPTIONS] header.

[note: I'm not sure if the migration from X-Frame-Options to
Frame-Options is really motivated by the considerations in RFC 6648,
thus you might not want to include the first clause of the second
sentence above]

IANA Considerations

Does this header really belong in the permanent registry, given that
there are already plans to deprecate it?
