Re: [whatwg/fetch] Discussion: the term for non-preflighted request ("simple request") (Issue #1824)

Thanks for the ping, @annevk.

I too find "simple request" to be a problematic term, simply because it's painfully generic; practitioners may not realise that the term carries a deeper meaning than meets the eye. (Incidentally, I have similar grievances about the term "site".) I'd be in favour of establishing a more precise term in the Fetch standard.

The term "non-preflighted request", if it's to be understood as

> a request initiated and composed in such a way as not to give rise to CORS preflight

strikes a good balance between conciseness and precision. The term "simple request" is likely to endure regardless, though.
