Well, both are important (and different, origin is a superset), no? E.g. document.domain clearly represents a domain, where as the MessageEvent interface has an origin attribute that gives back an origin. This very draft defines two headers with the name origin in them. It seems to me that developers will quickly pick up the difference. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
