Use case for cross-site DELETE, PUT, ...?

The current specification is phrased in terms of GET (safe) vs
non-GET (meaning unsafe, actually not entirely accurate given the
existence of HEADERS) requests.

That means that there is an assumption here that HTTP methods such
as DELETE and PUT might be used cross-site.

If that assumption is kept, we should document corresponding use
cases, and have an explicit requirement.
