Comment:

 Some more useful tidbits: nsIHttpChannelInternal actually has a
 documentURI getter and setter that seems to provide the top-level url that
 was used during a load. It gets set in nsDocShell, so it may not be
 present for all image loads, but we can at least test it out in
 imgLoader::LoadImageWithChannel(). If the channel fails to QI and/or the
 getter fails, I suppose we could just bypass the cache (perhaps with an
 Error Console warn somehow or something?).

 Additionally, it appears that the documentURI in imgLoader::LoadImage()
 might actually be what we need when it is actually non-null, but we should
 test nested iframes and/or inspect the callers more closely to be sure.
 Perhaps we can also bypass cache and log if that parameter is null.
