Re: W3C/IETF HTML 5 get-together ~25 March

My recollection is that for Origin, the next step is for me to forward  
links to the previous discussion on the HTTP list to folks from HTML5,  
because although Adam participated in that discussion, apparently a  
number of folks were surprised to hear of the conclusion that was  
reached.

Regarding CORS, I think the next step is for me to pass on a reference  
and solicit review in various parts of the IETF. There's also a  
question of whether a next-generation CORS is interesting/necessary  
(given that, AIUI, any substantial feedback is likely not to make it  
in, given how advanced the implementations apparently are).
