Well, you just established why it might be unnecessary.  The gain here
is in the client not sending a request to the wrong place.  But if
this is rare enough, then that cost is probably bearable.

The "everything except those" case doesn't concern me that much.  I
know it's relatively common, but it is fairly rare that the set of
origins that are used is not easily enumerable, or incrementally
discoverable.
