I know some people (e.g. Ian) don't like the idea, but it seems the name "Access Control for Cross-Site Requests" confuses people, especially the "Access Control" part: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2008/12/10-minutes#item03 'TBL: Calling it Access Control" is misleading. It's about privacy.' Henri Sivonen suggested "Cross-Origin Data Sharing" on IRC the other day: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090112#l-139 Since it can be about more than just data, e.g. images, "Cross-Origin Resource Sharing" might be more appropriate. Keeping the header names the same seems fine, they're just opague strings, but at least making it more clear what the specification is about might help people. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
