I should probably stop flip-flopping on this issue, but since  
Access-Control-Allow-Origin is supposed to be compared to the Origin value  
literally I think it might make more sense for this header to actually be  
space-separated. The other headers are processed in a different way.

Maybe we should discuss this one last time when all implementors are in  
the room during TPAC.
