Re: [whatwg/fetch] Proposal: Allow servers to take full responsibility for cross-origin access protection (#878)

One clear and reliable method to fix this is:

#### Make `mode: no-cors` work as stated - headers are not analyzed - nothing is opaque.

You decide: SECURITY or heck it, wild-wild-web. So those, who used `no-cors` are fully responsible for their applciation layer deeds.

And if you think about Zombie-browsers abusing this, don't worry, they don't exist (until user machine is compromised).

Benefits:
- reduced spec size, less senteces to read and to remember
- less stupid issues about escaping CORS labyrinth
- less bytes wasted on transmitting headers in the web
- reduced server logic
- etc, bytes saved

Is this a good optimization?
