Re: [fetch] Update Access-Control-Allow-Headers CORS response header to allow * (allow-all) (#251)

Hey Anne,

Feetgun (footguns?) are bad, but if a security mechanism is too complex or
difficult to implement, people will continue to use JSONP and its ilk.

We can't protect everyone, but we can protect many, by making CORS simpler
to implement.

FWIW, there are many examples out on the internet (some good, some bad) of
CORS implementations, but there is no 'reference implementation'. Perhaps
that's something that WHATWG could consider providing?
