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

jub0bs left a comment (whatwg/fetch#1824)

@ukusormus To summarise your comment (correct me if I'm wrong):

- The  term _simple request_, as it commonly used (e.g. by MDN Web Docs), refers only to a cross-origin, non-preflighted request.
- All same-origin requests are non-preflighted (i.e. do not give rise to CORS preflight), but not all non-preflighted requests are same-origin.

I think the term _non-preflighted request_, if it becomes enshrined in the Fetch standard, should also encompass same-origin requests; otherwise, as you pointed out, there would be room for ambiguity. If necessary, when referring to non-preflighted requests, you'd need to specify whether you're referring to cross-origin ones.
