We now envision more use cases than guest code, however, "guest" is also the traditional name for an unprivileged account. - UnprivilegedXMLHttpRequest (or abbreviate to NoPrivs) - NoAuthorityXMLHttpRequest (or abbreviate to NoAuth, though that may seem like "no authentication") - NoCredentialsXMLHttpRequest (or abbreviate to NoCred) Can anyone else think of ideas?
